- In this episode we continue our progress with the build of the garden planters and show you the process of cutting and fixing sleepers into place. The oak sleepers get a sanding and using a router, John puts a nice edge on them to complete the look. A coat of Black Jack for protection and lastly cedar oil is then applied! Watch for great tips and advice on how to build garden planters.
Keep watching as we move onto the paving in the next episode of our #ExtensionBuild series!

The planters look the business and yet again the attention to detail is second to none. Message to Tony,
No need to thank me for "My kind words". I just know quality work when I see it. Keep it up guys, look forward to the next one.
Fantastic work boys! I’ve just stumbled across your channel. Ive been a landscaper for many years, starting on the tools, running my own business, but now I’m a project manager for a high end landscaper in London, with multiply Chelsea Flower Show Gold awards to their name. Your work is up with the best. Fantastic eye for detail that’s built to last. It’s refreshing to see, thanks for sharing
Looking good! The chamfer on the sleepers really caps it off, great work!
I can strongly appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail with this work, and I work in software. This stuff isn't taught enough, academically. Trade work is under appreciated, hats off to your team.
Thank you for your kind words, it really means a lot 👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊

Top job lads. Well done.
Lovely job.
Can I ask what brand of oil you lads like to use for this? The Cedar colour in this looks gorgeous. I've been inspired to do some oak sleepers and matching oak decking and have heard good things about the RUBIO stuff.

Take care and all the best, John 😊
Tony/John, Another top video I have followed the journey of this job and have been mightily impressed, the detailing and the finishing are top notch which makes me think that the client is an architect??
Hi Mark Worthington it’s always the same with any project we do it’s all in the detail, the client isn’t an architect, they are amazing people and really have a great eye for detail and design thanks for watching all the best Tony
Most people are minted in leamington spa haha.
Black Jack in my area is called Henry
Great workmanship guys , very inspirational , did you seal the red cedar osmo with another clear varnish to seal , if so what do you use that works with the osmo ?
What did you do with the plates? Were they attached to the wood and the concrete floor? I’m confised
How were the bottom sleepers anchored to ground pls?
Nice bit of craftsmanship going on here. What make is that handy sized router you're using?
Hi frogeye,
I'm using a Makita trimmer router, it's a great little tool for cutting in details like this.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
All the best, John 😊
superb workmanship. stupid question but how did you secure the top sleeper to below.
Looking forward to seeing the finished job...what kind of oak is the sleepers from??
Cheers Stevie.
@@cliveramsbotty6077 ha..is that coz it's in England..
Great stuff. How have you attached the wider tops? I don't see any screw holes from the top.
Trying to convince the wife to let me labour for to guys to get some experience 😂
Would like to see how you got the wires through for the led tracking you are going to install :)
Would like to get something like this on my next build!
Hi Joe,
To route the cabling for the LED's, the electrician simply drilled through the back of the sleepers.
The connections were then made in a specialised waterproof box, and surrounded with pea gravel to allow any excess water to drain away.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Can’t wait for the artificial grass to go in. That’s my kind of work. Be good to see if there are any differences on the process.
Artificial grass is a travesty ! Avoid at all costs ! There is enough plastic in the environment without replacing perfectly good grass with it too!
I agree 100%. Artificial grass is horrendous. I always equate it to chavs. Why don't people plant ground cover plants like Creeping Thyme or Creeping Jenny. It's zero maintenance, good for wildlife including pollinators and it's beautiful. Why do people want ugly sheets of hairy plastic littering their garden? Live in a flat if you don't like nature.
Hello, would you mind providing extra info on the straps? which size and thickness? where did you source it from?
How did you fix the top down on the sleepers?
Hi Pete 😁
We pre-drilled the bottom sleepers and then screwed into the underside of the top sleepers.
Take care and all the best, John 😊
hi great video how did you attach the top sleeper
Hi mate what protection did you use on the sleepers , i need to sand mine down and put oil on.? Thanks
Would love to know how much all this work is costing including the house. I'm guessing it's expensive but the way you guys do the job it looks like it's worth every penny.
It’s a vanity project who the fuck pays for a builder to paint the inside of sleepers with tar. My guess is these people are so rich they don’t actually how much 👍
@@jimmylad8714 they are following a standard. Most earth structures require a waterproof membrane
Yeah I do the same with DPC when I put in planters. It’s a few minutes work that makes the difference. Same with doweling holes to cover screws. I always screw where it’s hid, if not possible then it’s a dowl.
What is concealed kitchen?
Is there any footage of fitting the Led strips?
Hi Rhys yes and no what particular bit or all
To help it’s router and flute cutter then Led strip off internet with transformers all the best Tony 👍
What did you use to secure the rebar in the sleeper, beautiful work lads, attention to detail is second to none🤯👍
Hi TJ,
The rebars were fixed with anchor resin. We choose this because it's cures quickly, and once it has, it's absolutely solid and holds everything together nicely.
Thanks for watching, all the best, John 😊
Hi Pete 🤜
😉
Quality work guys, thanks for sharing.
Could you tell me where you got the tent/canopy thing from please?
Hi Jeff,
It's great to hear that you're enjoying our videos.
The gazebo was from a company called surf and turf, definitely worth investing in one.
Hope this helps, all the best, John 😊
Great videos and some top workmanship.
Have you got a name of the stain used for the oak sleepers please?
Hi Dean Price thanks for your kind words it’s osma oil cedar tint exterior thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Hi Lee thanks, having a senior moment 😂 sorry Dean 👍
How do you stop the underside decaying usually there leveled on gravels I suppose you could mastic it,They look the nuts it will bring tears to eyes when all those lovely mitres shink away from each other, It's a real sharp finish
Hi Dean,
These Oak sleepers will be around for many years to come, their made for this type of application. There will also be an aggregate which will infill the underside of the sleepers to help any excess water drain away.
I hope this helps, all the best, John 😊
I just saw the previous video most of them look like there on aggregate,I like the way there tied in no doubt they will last a long time I'm also chippie over years we took care of the exterior joinery on churches,I used to make the green oak gates and 8x8 carved posts loved it,Except 3 months later when the joints start opening up ,draw bores wedges they always opened up,it's a great looking job I can see you've all got you s@#t together
Very nice!! I've just stolen that idea.
Glad we inspired you 😁
All the best, John 😊
Great work.
How did you fix the top course of sleepers to the base ones?
Hi much appreciated check out earlier videos all the best Tony 👍
Hey, nice looking system. Are you allowed to pile soil up against a wall, I thought regs needed 150mm below a damp course. I have taken countless flower beds out because of the damp issues they cause. Does a bit of ever build jollup suffice?
Hi Welshhero,
The Black Jack DPM we used acts as a fully waterproof membrane, which will prevent any moisture transfer to the wall. When we fill the planters with soil, we will surround the weep holes with pea gravel to ensure any moisture created in the cavity can easily escape and drain away.
The mistake some people make, is to use plastic DPM as a barrier. This can cause sweating against the wall, resulting in damp issues.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for watching, take care, John 😊
Hi Welshhero w I suppose you could argue the point, I think common sense at how we look at it with the black Jack coating and great drainage mixed soil and the width of the planters I would be surprised with any issues, plus with leaf spread, the amount of rain that will actually not filter and hold, I suppose a vertical line of 300 Mu would even more belt and brace like when you tank cellars on the external walls thanks for watching all the best Tony
What LED light strips did you use on the top course underside rebate ? Also how did you fasten them ?
Hi Joe Duggan,
The LED strips are from a company called Intalite. They are flexible and waterproof, so were perfect for this application. They fixed into the rebate with clips at 300mm centres.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Next episode, How people afford a garden like this.
Great vids not far from you boys in Coventry
Hi David,
Glad you're enjoying our videos, it's nice to see that we have viewers who are local to us.
Take care, all the best, John 😊
I'm sorry to hear that 😁
Suns out guns out
Where did you buy your sleepers?
Hi Rodney Baldwin we purchased the sleepers from Jewsons, but alway shop around for the best price, at the time Jewsons were the cheapest, also we were buying a lot of product from them. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Where is the DPC.?
How did you guys fix down the top sleeper? Thanks
The top was fixed with screws through the plate we'd secured underneath.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Very Nice, What Oil did you use ?
Hi Garry Nutter thanks, much appreciated. Osma Oil cedar tint exterior thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
2H pencil ? Proper chippy
Hi Tubby Cab I seem to go through so many, 😂 thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Are these pressure treated sleepers 👍
Hi Matt no they are Oak all the best Tony 👍
Hmm, painting that Blackjack on the wall might play havoc with damp as the wall won't have adequate ventilation.
Hi lame duck its good drainage that’s required not really ventilation but each to there own the product used has been manufactured for this use and many more thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Hi Tony, have you ever seen the videos of peter Ward? He's very much an advocate of letting walls breathe and is against cement and plaster preferring lime. Here's one of his vids. th-cam.com/video/RbyaRgkfhwg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Lame duck totally love Peter such a cool guy letting old houses breath is the most important thing but there are many considerations to take into account like people blocking up vents repointing with cement based products draft exclusion, central heating that’s why we suffer so much with mould because of many of these factors, the small area that we have done is something or nothing the idea of going back to lime based material is my idea of building but clients wouldn’t pay the cost build times you can go on forever but in the end cement based product has been sold to use many years ago and other products This is a huge debate because so many people have different opinions. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
How is the top sleeper attached to the sleepers below? Is it fixed with plates on the inside of the planter? Cheers
Hi Aaron,
The plates were fixed to the bottom planter, then the top planter was sat on top. We then screwed up through the bottom of the plate, in to the top planter.
Hopefully this makes sense.
All the best, John 😊
Yes makes sense..... Is the fixing plates on the inside only ? Also which Cedar Oil did you use? Love the colour of the sleepers.
Keep up the good work, enjoying the episodes :-)
Sorry you may have covered it but where does the water escape to when it fills up on the inside ?
Hi Jimmy S,
The planters are sat on a bed of type one mot stone, which will act as a soakaway. Any excess water will naturally drain away in to the ground beneath.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE it does thanks very much!
😊😊😊
You'll make a TH-cam star out of Pete yet 🤣😂
A little bird tells me that Pete has been captured talking on camera! Watch this space 😁
All the best, John 😊
Hi, whats that tool called at 5:20?
Hi Lukasz,
It's an electric plane.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
The planters are great , but they are so narrow it's going to be difficult to make an interesting bed with depth....shame. The strain is also so orange no matter what is planted the eye will go to the bright orange and shiny wood first.
The detailing is just a joke 👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Tritan Athletes,
As I'm sure you've realised, we like to go the extra mile with everything we do 😁
Stay safe, all the best, John 😊
You can find nice Instructions on woodprix if you like to build it
