Selection Guidance

When selecting railway sleepers for your project, consider the following:

• Aesthetic Preference: Do you prefer a traditional, rustic look or a more modern, sleek design? Choose grooved or ungrooved sleepers accordingly.
• Functional Requirement: For raised beds, opt for the Forest Sleeper Raised Bed. For pathways or steps, standard sleepers are more suitable.
• Size and Dimensions: Ensure the size of the sleepers fits the scale of your project. Larger projects may require more robust sleepers like the landscape timbers.
