Using Railway Sleepers for Garden Edging
Crafting the perfect garden edge is the desire of many homeowners and railways sleepers can provide the perfect solution to the problem. Their length and girth make them the perfect solution for some garden edging, creating a natural yet organised effect. Many HSW Timber Ltd customers use our railway sleepers in Kent to do just this.
Knowing which type of sleeper you wish to use is essential when considering them for garden edging, or any other purpose within your garden or outdoor space.
Reclaimed oak sleepers, such as the ones in the image above, create a wonderful, rustic look for a garden but do come with a warning - as they will likely have creosote in them - therefore people should not walk on them barefoot or expose skin to them. So these may not be perfect if you have younger children in the garden. The colour of them may also be at odds with your garden if all the other timber you use is a lighter colour. In these instances, it may be best to use treated softwood sleepers - which we also stock at HSW Timber Ltd.
The length of sleeper needed is also a consideration. Another reason why customers choose HSW Timber Ltd for their railway sleepers in Kent is that we can provide the right amount that you are going to need - cutting sleepers to size if needed (charges may apply). This can save a lot of time and effort on your end, especially if you are not handy with a saw or chainsaw.
