Railway Sleepers are functional timber
products that can be used for various purposes. Here are some of them:
1. Raised Beds
Cheap railway sleepers are great alternatives to bricks and stones. They are good
for plants because they allow greens to breathe and grow properly. In addition,
railway sleepers are also more attractive when used as raised beds. They are
like wine – they improve in appearance over time. You can also put varnish on
them directly or paint them with the colour that you prefer.
2. Fencing
Railway sleepers are ideal for fencing
because they are exceptionally durable, especially when pressure treated. This treatment
protects the wood from pests and wood damaging chemicals. Railway sleepers are
also affordable. In fact, there are treated fencing softwoods at Railway
Sleeper that are offered for as low as £1.20 each.
3. Retaining Walls
Railway sleepers are perfect retaining wall
materials because they are long lasting and sturdy. The natural beauty of wood
also blends well with nature. Some of the best railway sleepers for retaining
walls are the Brown Treated Softwood Sleeper and the Rustic Oak Sleeper.
4. Landscaping
If you want a more affordable alternative
to landscaping boards, use railway sleepers instead. They are environmentally-friendly
and are easy to replace. Railway Sleeper offers planed sleepers with a
bevelled/eased edge that are virtually splinter free. They come in two types:
treated and untreated. Treated timber has proven to be more durable.
5. Water Features
Railway sleepers can make water features
more dramatic. Since wood absorbs water, railway sleepers can also lessen the
amount of water that leaks from the water feature. You can paint them with any
colour that will enhance the appearance of your fountain. The mini sleeper is advised
for this project.
6. Furniture
Furniture is made using railway sleepers
including beds, tables, chairs and cabinets. Railway sleepers are a practical
choice because they are as durable and as attractive as other types of wood,
although they are cheaper.
