The 2380mm Composite Sleeper is the longer of our two composite lengths and the one most walls are built from, because fewer posts and fewer pier holes across the same run works out cheaper and faster than the shorter sleeper. It resists warping, rotting and termites, needs no staining or sealing, and at 5.3kg one person can carry and place it.
Why Choose Composite over Concrete?
- Better deflection and bow rate
- Over 90% lighter
- Significantly easier to install and alter
- Less chance of damaging
- Minimal difference in the wall design
- Suited for walls up to 1m in height

Pair it with composite posts for walls up to 1m, or galvanised steel posts where the design calls for it, and pack each course out with composite sleeper wedges. Composite cuts with a standard wood blade, so there is no wet saw and no silica dust.
Building courses that get buried?
Cosmetic composite sleeper seconds are the same product with surface scuffs, minor edge damage or colour variation, at a reduced price. Plenty of builders run seconds on the lower courses that end up below ground or behind a garden bed, then full price sleepers on the top course people actually see. Everything in the seconds and clearance range is sold as seen, so ask us for photos of current stock first.
