About Our Sleepers
We supply railway sleepers suitable for retaining walls, raised beds, garden borders and structural landscaping projects. Our sleeper range covers both new and reclaimed timber options in various lengths, making them ideal for creating durable garden features, boundary walls and ground retention systems. These versatile timber products offer excellent value for money and can transform outdoor spaces with their robust construction and natural appearance. Browse our affordable sleeper selection online or visit our branches to discuss your specific landscaping requirements with our experienced team.
Our Selection of Railway Sleepers
Our sleeper collection includes both new treated timber and reclaimed railway sleepers, each offering distinct advantages for different applications. New sleepers provide consistent dimensions and clean finishes, while reclaimed options deliver authentic character with weathered surfaces. These products work exceptionally well for creating stepped gardens on sloping terrain, constructing raised vegetable beds, and building attractive garden seating areas. As part of our comprehensive Landscaping And Fencing range, sleepers complement other materials like fence panels, posts and garden timber for complete outdoor projects.
Many customers choose Treated Sleepers for their enhanced durability and resistance to rot, insects and weathering. Treatment processes extend the lifespan considerably, making them cost-effective for long-term installations. Standard lengths typically range from 1.2m to 3.6m, with cross-sections around 200mm x 100mm, though dimensions vary between new and reclaimed stock. The natural weight and density of railway sleepers provide excellent stability for retaining walls and structural applications without requiring complex foundations.
