1st Grade Hardwood Reclaimed Oak Railway Sleepers
(2.6m x 250mm x 150mm), (8'6'' x 10'' x 6'') (approximately)
(dimensions may vary slightly as these are reclaimed goods and not freshly machine cut)
1st grade is our medium condition grade. The sleepers will not have as many and as big cracks as the second grade sleepers, however, will have more and bigger cracks than the higher grade sleepers. These sleepers may also have more waney edges than the higher grade ones and they are are less size consistent. Customers tend to use them in projects where the visual aspect is not the most important one. The consistency of size in length may be +/- 50mm and in width/height +/- 15mm.
*Please note*
Reclaimed pine sleepers are generally in better condition than reclaimed oak ones, but do not last as long compared to oak. Because of being more square, having significantly less cracks and not having bolts through their width, while building a retaining wall most landscapers tend to use the pine ones. On the other hand, while laying only one sleeper flat on the ground, for example when edging a lawn, landscapers tend to use the oak ones instead.
The sleepers are perfect for:
- - Raised beds & planters,
- - A railway sleepers driveway,
- - Stepping stones & steps,
- - An exterior feature wall,
- - Lawn edging,
- - And much more..
However, being creosote treated in the past, the sleepers shall NOT be used:
- inside buildings, whatever their purpose,
- in toys,
- in playgrounds,
- in parks, gardens, and outdoor recreational and leisure facilities where there is a risk of frequent skin contact.
- for the manufacture and use and any re-treatment of; - containers intended for growing purposes, - packaging that may come into contact with raw materials, - intermediate or finished products destined for human and/or animal consumption, - other materials which may contaminate the articles mentioned above.
As advised by the DTI frequent skin contact is avoided when handling sleepers by wearing protective gloves.
