MicroPro Sienna Sleeper
MicroPro Sienna Sleepers in Melbourne
MicroPro Sienna sleepers are treated pine sleepers with a natural brown tone instead of the usual green, so retaining walls and garden beds look more like hardwood from day one. The MicroPro micronised copper treatment protects against rot and termites. They are popular with Melbourne landscapers and homeowners building retaining walls, raised garden beds and edging.
Choosing the right Sienna sleepers
- Treatment level: H4 is suited to in-ground contact and landscaping; check the rating on the product for structural or wet ground use.
- Wall height: taller retaining walls need steel posts and engineering; low garden beds can use timber posts or pegs.
- Sizes: thicker sleepers resist bowing over longer spans between posts.
- Drainage: lay ag pipe and gravel behind retaining walls to relieve water pressure.
- Cut ends: seal any cut ends with a preservative to keep protection intact.

Are Sienna sleepers safe for vegetable gardens?
MicroPro is a copper-based treatment without arsenic, which is why many people choose it for garden beds. Some gardeners also line the inside of the bed.
How many sleepers do I need for my wall?
Measure the length and height of the wall and use our free online calculators to estimate sleepers and posts.
Will the colour fade?
Like all timber, Sienna sleepers weather to a softer grey-brown over time. An exterior stain or oil helps keep the tone.
