A garden is a clean place in the city, a great place for people to pursue nature and relax. In gardens, sleepers are a very important building material that can be used not only to lay roads and build garden boundaries, but also as a fixed boundary for plants or to build garden chairs. Both uncorroded and treated sleepers play an indispensable role in parks, gardens, and horticulture.

Unprotected sleepers refer to sleepers made from natural wood that have been processed into specific sizes and shapes through processes such as drying and cutting. Due to the good quality of the wood, processed sleepers such as natural pine, oak, and cedar have excellent weathering resistance, making them very common in garden art. The sleepers without anti-corrosion treatment are designed to be very beautiful and fragrant in the short term, used to create scenes such as paths and boundaries in the garden, which can enhance the natural charm of the garden and give people a fresh and pleasant feeling.

However, untreated sleepers also have certain weaknesses, such as poor corrosion resistance and susceptibility to external environmental factors such as fungi and moisture, leading to a shortened service life. Therefore, in order to extend the service life of sleepers, sometimes selective anti-corrosion treatment is carried out.

Sleepers that have undergone anti-corrosion treatment refer to ordinary sleepers that have undergone special anti-corrosion treatment to increase their ability to resist corrosion, water, and decay. The most common anti-corrosion treatment method is to place sleepers in anti-corrosion tanks for oil immersion treatment. The so-called oil immersion treatment is the use of anti-corrosion oil to impregnate wood in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, filling the fibers and cell voids inside the wood with anti-corrosion oil, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the wood. Before the oil immersion anti-corrosion treatment, it is necessary to dry the sleeper wood to remove excess moisture in the sleeper and strive for better anti-corrosion effects.

Sleepers that have undergone anti-corrosion treatment have strong advantages such as water resistance, decay resistance, antifungal and insect resistance, making them widely used in garden gardening. Whether used for building paths, fences, or building garden chairs, anti-corrosion treated sleepers can ensure a longer lifespan and more beautiful garden.

In garden gardening, sleepers are an indispensable element. They can not only fix plants and boundary gardens, but also beautify garden spaces and add a natural atmosphere. Both uncorroded and treated sleepers carry the yearning and expectations of gardeners for a beautiful garden. I hope that in future garden gardening, sleepers can continue to play an important role, making our garden more beautiful and pleasant.
