Sleepers in the Garden

With spring just around the corner, thoughts are turning to getting the garden spruced up ready for the better weather, and this is a great time of year to start planning this year’s gardening projects.

T.ward can help with many of your gardening projects – we’ve been supplying reclaimed railway sleepers around Scotland for many years now and it never ceases to amaze us some of the creative ways that our customers choose to use them!

At 2.6m x 0.25 x 0.125m and with a weight of about 75 kgs they are fairly sturdy – which you would expect for something that is designed to be in the ground for hundreds of years!

One of the most popular ways to use reclaimed railway sleepers in gardening projects is to create a retaining wall.

Some of our imaginative clients have used them for other things – adding some attractive edging, supports, raised beds, steps, garden furniture, fencing and even bridges!

Of course, sleepers can be used outside of the garden - many of our clients are industry based and use our sleepers for a base for plant machinery, containers, pipes and much more.

There are many different grades of reclaimed railways sleepers, but t.ward shipping has seen a trend emerging in Grade A reclaimed railway sleepers – this grade guarantees quality throughout the railway sleeper. They are on the more expensive side but if you opt for a Grade A sleeper, you’ll certainly see the benefits in the long run.
