Another major plus of garden sleepers and the popular pine sleepers is the edging options available to suit your style and needs. Many people choose not to cover their sleepers with any sort of protective cover as they believe it adds to the garden’s character and makes it look more natural. However, some people consider covering their sleepers to save money and not give their garden the appearance of a ‘work of art’ especially when it comes to defining garden beds. You can buy various types of decorative edging materials to use around your garden, and here are some examples: Wood, aluminium, plastic, wrought iron and mesh.
