Buying sheeting timber begins with the load on your bank. You also weigh how long the wood remains in water. For lasting bank work, Azobe hardwood is the standard choice. Douglas can handle a light garden edge that remains fairly dry. Prolock Sigma is the plastic option when you prefer modest upkeep.
Hardwood sheeting in Azobe
Sheeting planks and sheet pile planks in Azobe remain sound in water. The sections have a herkomst mark and handle lasting water contact. Life span is 30 to 50 years in a working bank. This is the proper choice for ditches, canals and heavier banks.
Light timber sheeting for garden edges
A lighter screen can handle a garden pond or a small ditch. Douglas or treated pine will cost you less than hardwood. That timber remains weaker when the soil stays wet all year. Use it for modest jobs or for a short outdoor period. Do not use it for real water projects or heavier bank loads.
Plastic sheeting as a third option
Want sheet piling with almost no upkeep after install? Prolock Sigma plastic sheet pile lasts 50 plus years in the bank. It is simpler to install and needs no extra treatment. Review both options in Prolock versus hardwood.

Common questions
Is treated wood good as a sheet pile wall?
No, treated pine is made for fencing, not for water projects. Select Azobe hardwood or Prolock plastic for a wet bank.
What thickness of sheet plank?
Use 30 to 50 mm for sheet piling on a working bank. Lighter planks are enough for garden ponds and modest edges. We offer custom notes so the wall fits the load.
Do you have plastic sheet piling?
Yes, we stock Prolock Sigma, around 5000 m² ready to go. See our Prolock guide for sizes and install notes.
