Further information

Oak railway sleepers are a long-lasting and extremely attractive solution for all kinds of landscaping purposes, including raised beds, patios, planters, lawn edging, sleeper retaining walls and garden steps.  With an expected lifespan of up to 20 years, oak railway sleepers will stand the test of time in all weather conditions.  Due to their longevity, these oak railway sleepers are the most popular choice for professional landscapers and garden designers.

Made from strong and durable hardwood, these oak railway sleepers do not require treatment with a preservative, however, you can oil or stain to suit your needs and preferences.  If you decide to leave these oak railway sleepers untreated, then the oak will silver beautifully with age, creating incredible rustic sleepers.  These railway sleepers truly are a stunning product which will enhance areas that accommodate them. 

Looking to create a raised bed or oak mantle?  We strongly recommend using our stainless steel sleeper screws whenever working with oak sleepers, for their longevity and strength.  We also supply all the necessary fixings for the job at hand, including angle brackets and flat connector plates.  If you are placing the sleepers on a concrete surface, try our concrete base anchor bracket!

As these natural, organic sleepers are from sustainably sourced forests, it is to be expected that these sleepers may have waney edges, will split, and may move over time - like all green oak - but this is part of the natural beauty of the product.  Large cracks, splits and irregularities are to be expected with oak railway sleepers, as they are not kiln dried, but green oak, meaning they are fresh, new oak railway sleepers cut down within the last year.  Given the expected irregularities with this natural product, these oak railway sleepers are not recommended for construction, but for landscaping purposes.
