Unique Ways To Use Sleepers In Your Garden
Complete your garden with our selection of garden sleepers at CHARFLEETS FENCING to create unique ways in your garden….
Treated railway sleepers are wooden sleepers that have been treated with preservatives to protect them from decay, insects, and environmental elements. This treatment process is necessary to ensure the durability and longevity of the sleepers, especially since they are exposed to harsh conditions such as moisture, pests, and physical stress.
All of our sleepers here at Charfleets Fencing are pressure treated. this means that the wood has been placed in a large pressurised chamber where preservatives, such as creosote or copper-based chemicals, are forced into the wood. This method ensures deep penetration of the preservatives.
Treated sleepers are widely used in railway infrastructure, but they are also repurposed in landscaping and construction due to their durability. Railway sleepers can be incredibly versatile and add a rustic, natural feel to your garden. Here are several ideas for how you can use treated railway sleepers in your garden:-
- Steps & Pathways
Use sleepers to create steps or pathways, especially for sloped areas. The heavy, sturdy nature of sleepers provides a safe, durable surface.
How: Lay them flat for walkways or cut them to form steps, securing them into place.
