Reclaimed Oak Railway Sleeper

From raised beds and edging to garden steps, our Reclaimed Oak Railway Sleepers have endless uses for the garden and are a great choice for any landscaping project where natural aged oak is required; these are particularly effective for a rustic look by offering the odd waney edge and aged creosote finish.  

GRADE A

These sleepers are more uniform, with none or one edge missing to the sleeper and small signs of deterioration to the sleeper. These are more likely to match and will be closer to their nominal sizing.

GRADE B 

These sleepers will have serious signs of deterioration as well as missing edges and marks/knots missing throughout. They are likely to look less like square edged sleepers and will have difficulty in being stacked where parts have deteriorated. A more rustic sleeper that is still great for landscaping purposes. 

As with all creosoted railway sleepers gloves should be worn while handling. 

Due to the nature of these sleepers, the lengths and section sizes can vary slightly.

Please note, Oak does not readily accept treatment and so will sometimes almost appear untreated, the benefit of this is that these sleepers can be used more readily for landscaping than other more heavily creosoted railway sleepers. Having previously been used for many decades, they may also contain fragments of metal and possibly spray paint or markings on the surface of the sleeper.
