With their fantastic natural rustic look, a life span of over 40 years and ability to be used for a wide range of applications, reclaimed sleepers provide an extremely cost-effective landscaping product for whatever your garden project entails.
If you're searching for high quality used railway sleepers to realise your vision of the ideal garden, then you've found the right place here at Pennyhill Timber. As a well-respected provider of timber and sheeting materials for domestic and commercial use, we can guarantee that the products you'll be receiving will be of a high quality, yet fantastically priced – providing you with the best value on the market.
The Grade A-quality reclaimed railway sleepers that we have as part of our range here at Pennyhill have been lifted from tracks across Europe. Although they will look fantastic in any type of garden, they particularly shine in a more 'traditional' setting and when matched with their durability, their reclaimed status makes them an extremely cost-effective landscaping product.
It should be noted that reclaimed sleepers have been treated with Creosote – a carcinogenic that's use has been limited by EU law . So when this type of treated timber is being cut, it is important that gloves and a dust mask are worn.
We don't recommend that these sleepers are used in areas in which children will be in regular contact or where the timber will come into constant contact with bare skin in general, or with any food intended for direct consumption. This means that creosote sleepers won't be suitable for the construction of garden decking, for example. (For decking, we recommend oak sleepers – containing natural tannins, this substance acts as an effective preservative that helps to keep them looking and feeling sturdy).
Whilst creosote-soaked railway sleepers should not be used for applications that may involve regular human contact, there is an exception in the EU directive that states that wood treated with creosote prior to the coming into force date of the Creosote Directive (June 2003) MAY be used in gardens, providing there is no risk of frequent skin contact .
Furthermore, the prohibition of the use of treated reclaimed sleepers does not apply where the treated wood was in use before 2003 – this means that the reclaimed railway sleepers as part of our range can be used for:
