These are reclaimed grade A Polish oak hardwood sleepers, recycled railway sleepers in good, sound condition. Grade A means the timber is solid and free from rot, well suited to stacking, building retaining walls and a wide range of garden and landscaping jobs.
Each sleeper measures 2600 x 250 x 150mm and weighs around 55kg. That’s the same length and section as our grade A+ German oak sleeper but a lighter bottle of timber, which makes these a little easier to handle while still giving you a proper hardwood sleeper for the money.
Being reclaimed, each one carries the marks of its working life. Expect bolt holes and metal bracing where the track fixings were, and the odd bit of damage or slight wane. For most garden projects that character is part of the appeal. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
This is a reclaimed grade A Azobe hardwood sleeper, untreated. Azobe, also known as ekki or red ironwood, comes from the rainforests of West and Central Africa, and it’s an exceptionally dense hardwood, far harder wearing than the usual garden timbers. The heartwood runs from dark reddish to purple brown, with a coarse, interlocked grain that gives it a distinctive look.
What makes Azobe interesting for the garden is that its industrial-grade durability carries straight over to home use. This is the timber used for railways and bridges, where the work has to last, so for anyone tired of replacing rotted sleepers or crumbling edging after a few wet winters, it’s about as long-lasting a choice as you’ll find.
Each sleeper measures 2600 x 240 x 150mm and weighs around 70kg, with some variation in width. Being reclaimed and untreated, it will have bolt holes where the track fixings were, and may carry some damage or slight wane.

These brown softwood incised sleepers are a sturdy, good-value choice for landscaping: raised beds, retaining walls, edging and general garden builds. Each one measures 2400mm long by 200 x 100mm, a solid section that stacks and fixes well.
The incised part matters. Small cuts are made across the timber so the preservative soaks in deeper, which helps the wood resist rot and last longer outdoors. These are treated with Tanatone for a brown finish, and the treatment makes them suitable for ground-contact use.
Softwood sleepers are light enough to handle and easy to cut and shape on site, so they suit DIY and professional projects alike. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
This rustic round-edge green softwood sleeper adds a natural, informal touch to a garden, with softened edges that give it a gentler, more rustic look than a sharp-cornered sawn sleeper.

It measures 2400mm long by 150 x 100mm, a handy size that’s easy to handle and works for all sorts of small landscaping jobs. It’s treated with Tanalith E, which is the part that makes it so flexible.

These oak sleepers are straight-cut, new, untreated hardwood for landscaping. Oak is heavier and more hard-wearing than softwood, so it’s the durable, premium choice for sleepers that need to last and look the part. They’re available in various sizes.
A word on use: these are sold for landscaping use only. As untreated oak, they suit raised beds, edging, steps and garden features where a solid, natural hardwood is wanted. Oak is dense and weighty, so it stays put, and it weathers to a handsome silvery grey over time.

These planed and bevelled brown treated sleepers are a tidier, more finished sleeper, also known as planed all round, or PAR. The faces are planed smooth and the square edges are bevelled into a gentle sloping edge, which gives a cleaner look and takes off the sharp corners.
That bevelled edge is why they’re a popular choice for play areas, schools and parks, as well as smart garden landscaping where the timber is on show. Each sleeper measures 2400mm x 200 x 100mm, and the brown treatment suits outdoor use.
