About this deal

You have to make sure that you are measuring and cutting precisely because oak tends to shrink with time. So to make sure you fix your sleepers as tightly as possible, measure everything twice. In this article we have answered some of the most common questions we receive on DIY building with railway sleepers. Cut your sleepers with a circular saw or a chainsaw by slowly making clean, straight cuts. Use a square angle ruler to make sure your sleepers will fit perfectly. Alternatively you can ask for sleepers to be precut which The Luxury Wood Company is happy to do. Gradually starting to replace my existing LGB "slide on" joiners with rail clamps. Two motivations: The best option for a foundation is concrete, gravel and sand, which you will use to anchor your sleepers with stainless steel fixings.

The oak sleepers can be finished in many ways to suit your space and style. If you wish to plant and sand the sleepers for a smoother finish, this utility product is an excellent choice. Of course, templates are freely available and we can of course also help with good advice… and the perfect tools, solders and fluxes needed to complete the task. As mentioned above, it’s important to use stainless steel crews to fix your sleepers together. You need to choose screws that will penetrate significantly into both sleepers. Don’t forget to pre-drill before putting the screw in, to reduce splitting. Oak sleepers are very heavy, so you can also use oak rods or stainless steel poles for stability.Oak does not require anti-rot treatment as it is highly resilient to weather and rain. Please note that our 100 x 200 x 2400 sleepers are untreated and are safe for children to touch. Crane Delivery Available

Oak railways sleepers are amazing for landscaping, furniture or general construction. You can build raised beds, retaining walls, stairs, benches, planters, pathways, garden edging, fish ponds, and much much more. They are not only long-lasting and require no treating, but they also significantly enhance your garden aesthetics. These top quality fibreglass sleeper frets are versatile (the turnout fret for example will provide the sleepering for any turnout between an A5 and B9) and they are VERY easy to use. All of our o ak sleepers are green, untreated and they do not need any treating . The natural tannins in oak are the most effective preservative compared to any man-made alternatives.

Suits many different outdoors projects including Raised Beds, Pathway and Driveway Edging, Retaining Walls and Garden Steps. Unlike softwood sleepers that usually last from 2 to 15 years, oak sleepers are highly resistant to decay and can last formany more years in the right conditions untreated. They also maintain colour, which is great for rustic beds. Landscaping oak is sold "green," and as such, it requires specific joining techniques to manage movement in situ. If you are unsure, please consult a professional green oak joiner.
