Railway Sleepers

Railway sleepers are ideal for creating raised beds, offering an attractive and durable alternative to brick or stone. Using railway sleepers for raised beds provides regulated plant growth and advanced protection from the elements.

Our range of railway sleepers includes new and used options, softwood and hardwood varieties, and different styles such as charred brushwood and oak sleepers. We offer various types of softwood railway sleepers, including green-treated and brown-treated options. The treatment process for softwood sleepers involves preservatives penetrating deep into the wood under high pressure, ensuring long-lasting protection.
