Hardwood Untreated Sleepers

Untreated hardwood sleepers are a strong and naturally durable option for landscaping and construction projects. Made from dense, long-lasting timber like oak, they resist wear and weathering better than untreated softwood, even without chemical treatments. Their robust nature makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications such as retaining walls, garden steps, and edging. Over time, they develop a natural silver-grey patina, adding rustic charm to outdoor spaces.

    African Tropical Azobe Reclaimed Grade A Hardwood Sleeper (Untreated)

    Known also as ekki or red ironwood, Azobe comes from the rainforests of West and Central Africa. It’s an exceptionally dense hardwood, far harder wearing than the usual garden timbers you find here. Its heartwood ranges from dark reddish to purple brown, with a coarse, interlocked grain that’s both distinctive and robust.

    What makes Azobe particularly interesting for garden and outdoor projects at home is how its industrial-grade strength and durability translate to domestic use. This is the timber trusted for railways and bridges—places where failure isn’t an option. For homeowners fed up with replacing rotted sleepers or crumbling edging after a couple of wet winters, Azobe hardwood sleepers present a potentially lasting solution.

    Dimensions: 2600 x 240 x 150mm. Approx 55kg. (with some variation  up to eight inches)

     

    The sleeper will have bolt holes where the tracks were attached to it. It may have some damage or slight wane.
