Our New Tanalised 2M Softwood Treated Railway Sleepers are ideal for a variety of landscaping projects, including retaining walls, edging, and also building raised garden beds.
What are the advantages of New Railway Sleepers?
Raised softwood sleeper beds boost productivity per square foot. You can space plants more closely together because there’s no need to leave walkways, ensuring you never step on the garden bed. Higher density planting enables the plants growing there to shade out bare soil, making it harder for weeds to grow. Raised garden beds are at least twice as productive as a conventional garden.
We supply our new railway sleepers pressure-treated with Tanalith, commonly referred to as tanalised. This will enhance the style and help protect the timber from insect infestation, fungal decay and rot. Weather exposure can cause the timber to fade over time. If that happens, you should consider additional staining to improve the product’s appearance.
Please Note: Tanalised pressure treated timber has a built-in colouration and depending on the timber species the treatment colour may vary slightly.
Log Selection
Careful selection of natural resources also ensures quality products. We then hand-pick raw materials to meet specific component needs, using the best part of the log. In the ‘green mill,’ we cut logs into rectangular shapes, but full saturation can cause rough edges. If needed, we season the timber by drying it, then machine it for smooth or shaped surfaces.
The Timberlok Heavy Duty Woodscrew penetrates even the densest woods without pre-drilling, thanks to its sharp point and aggressive thread design. You can buy them
