About our New Oak Wood Railway Sleepers Our hardwood new oak Railway Sleepers are ideal for a variety of landscaping and garden projects. They are and great for retaining walls, edging, and building raised garden beds. What are the advantages of oak sleepers? As oak is a slow growing tree, the wood is dense and heavy and therefore oak sleepers do not require treating. Instead, we suggest a coat of oil to keep the wood looking in best condition. Raised oak sleeper beds are more productive per square foot because you can space plants more closely. You don’t need to leave spaces to walk through, so never step on the garden bed. Higher density planting enables the plants growing there to shade out bare soil, making it harder for weeds to grow. Raised garden beds are at least twice as productive as a conventional garden. What’s Best For Fixing New Railway Sleepers? The Timberlok Heavy Duty Woodscrew’s sharp point and aggressive thread is designed to penetrate even the densest woods. Their unique tapered heads countersink easily into wood for a flush appearance. These screws meet national recognised and testing and code approvals.
