These are reclaimed grade A+ German oak hardwood sleepers, recycled railway sleepers in genuinely good condition. Grade A+ is the top of the reclaimed grades: the timber is very sound, free from rot, and solid enough for stacking, building retaining walls and a wide range of garden and landscaping jobs.
Each sleeper measures 2600 x 250 x 150mm and weighs around 70kg, so it’s a substantial, heavy piece of oak with real structural strength. That weight and density are part of why reclaimed oak sleepers are so popular for walls and raised beds. They stay put and they last.
Being reclaimed, each sleeper carries the marks of its working life. Expect bolt holes and metal plates where the track fixings were, and the odd bit of damage or slight wane. That character is part of the appeal for most buyers. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
This restaurant charcoal is a 12kg bag of lumpwood, made up of larger pieces that burn hotter and longer than ordinary charcoal. That bigger, longer-lasting burn is exactly what restaurants and event caterers want, and it works just as well for a home BBQ where you’d rather not be fussing over a fading fire.
The bigger lumps hold their heat, so you get more consistent cooking temperatures and fewer top-ups across a session. Whether you’re grilling for a garden full of people or searing a few steaks, it gives you heat you can rely on.
It’s a generous 12kg bag, good value for anyone who cooks over charcoal regularly. We offer standard delivery on bagged fuels across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.

It’s versatile in use. You can stack it for raised beds and low walls, stand it vertically in the ground for edging or features, or run it along a path as a border. It’s treated with Tanatone brown, which means it can go in all sorts of settings, including water features, children’s play areas and vegetable beds.

These softwood kiln-dried logs come in a big 0.80m³ dumpy bag, enough firewood to keep you going for a good while. They suit open fires, multi-fuel stoves, wood burning stoves and any other wood burning appliance, so whatever you’re heating, they’ll work.
Being kiln-dried is what matters here. The logs are dried down to a low moisture content, which means they light easily, burn cleanly and give out good heat rather than hissing and smoking the way damp wood does. They meet the Ready to Burn standard, the mark to look for on firewood. The logs are cut to roughly 22 to 26cm, a handy length for most stoves and fireplaces.
The bag is delivered on standard delivery across our defined Reading area, tipped from the side of the vehicle onto your drive. Check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
These kiln-dried softwood logs come in handy net bags, the easy way to buy firewood a bag at a time and carry it where you need it. They suit open fires, multi-fuel stoves, wood burning stoves, pizza ovens and any other wood burning appliance.
Kiln-drying is what makes them worth buying. The logs are dried to a low moisture content, so they light quickly, burn cleanly and put out proper heat rather than smoking and spitting like damp wood. They meet the Ready to Burn standard, which is the mark to look for on firewood.
A single net bag is £6.50, and the price drops to £6.25 a bag when you order ten or more, so it’s worth stocking up if you burn through wood over the winter. The colour of the nets may vary.

This stainless steel patio heater is a freestanding gas heater for extending evenings outdoors, the familiar tall, mushroom-style heater that warms a patio or seating area well into the cooler months. The stainless steel build is the practical bit. It stands up to being left outside far better than a painted finish.
It puts out up to 48,000 BTU, around 11 to 13.5 kW, which is plenty of warmth for a typical patio or garden table. Assembled, it stands 2,285mm tall, so the heat radiates down and out across the space below it rather than being aimed at one spot.
One thing to plan for: the 2-metre gas hose with jubilee clips and the 27mm regulator are not included and need to be bought separately, along with a propane cylinder to run it. We can help you sort the gas and fittings to go with it. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
SuperGlow wood pellets are made from 100% natural hardwood and softwood, and they’re a clean, efficient fuel for appliances built to burn pellets. They burn hotter and longer than you might expect for their size, while producing less ash and less smoke, so you get good heat with less mess to clear up afterwards.
They’re a versatile fuel. They can be used in biomass boilers, in pizza ovens and in plenty of other pellet-burning appliances, even hot tubs and jacuzzis with pellet heaters, so a single 15kg bag covers a range of uses around the home and garden.
Each bag is 15kg and priced at £8.50. Wood pellets need to be kept dry to burn well, so store them somewhere sheltered. We offer standard delivery on this product across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
Supertherm is a smokeless fuel for open fires and multi-fuel stoves, and it’s a strong performer for the money. It burns cleanly and economically, giving a long-lasting heat and an attractive flame, so you get steady warmth through the evening without constantly feeding the fire.
Being smokeless matters more than ever locally. The whole of Reading Borough has been a Smoke Control Area since December 2024, and smokeless fuels like Supertherm are authorised for use in smoke-controlled areas, where traditional house coal is not. So it’s a fuel you can burn with confidence wherever you are in the area.
It comes in 20kg bags, with a lower price per bag when you buy in larger quantities. We offer standard delivery across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
Timbercut landscape screws are heavy-duty screws made for sleepers and outdoor timber, and they come in a pack of 50. They’re the fixing that goes with the railway-sleeper range, the right way to join and secure sleepers into raised beds, retaining walls, steps and edging, as well as deck frames, fencing and roofing.
They’re built for the job in a few practical ways. Cutting flutes on the thread make them easier to drive into dense timber, the 7.0mm diameter gives extra strength where it counts, and a 1000-hour organic coating protects them outdoors so they hold up to weather and damp. Each box also includes a hex drive bit, so you’ve got what you need to drive them, and the length and diameter are stamped on each screw head for easy identification later.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner rub by Angus & Oink is a 220g seasoning made for poultry. It builds a properly mouth-watering crust on a roast chicken, and it takes chicken wings to another level on the BBQ or in the oven, so it’s an easy way to lift a midweek dinner or a weekend cook.

One thing to note on allergens: it contains celery. The full ingredient list is below. Rubs like this go hand in hand with cooking over charcoal, so pair it with a bag of lumpwood for the full effect.

It’s a refillable cylinder, around 20cm high and 20cm across, that stows neatly in a camper or car. It connects with a Campingaz regulator, which is specific to the 901, 904 and 907 bottles, so you’ll need the right one to use it.

Hobbyweld 15 (Original) is a MIG/MAG shielding gas for welding thicker sections of steel. It’s a tri-mix of argon, carbon dioxide and oxygen, roughly 83% argon, 15% CO2 and 2% oxygen, sometimes called an argon shield. The higher CO2 content is what makes it suited to heavier steel, generally from about 7mm up to 15mm or so.
It welds with good arc stability and minimal spatter, which is why it’s a popular choice for general fabrication, repairs and light trade work, as well as agricultural, on-site and mobile welding. This is the Original cylinder: a 9-litre bottle at 137 bar.
A cylinder of this type needs a suitable regulator to set your flow. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
Hobbyweld 15 (Ultra) is the high-capacity version of the 15 mix, a MIG/MAG shielding gas for welding thicker steel. It’s the same argon tri-mix with around 15% CO2 and 2% oxygen, but in a bigger 20-litre cylinder at 300 bar, so you get a lot more welding time between refills.
The CO2 content lets you weld up to around 18mm in steel thickness, which suits heavier-duty work and engineering-type fabrication. It’s easy to use too: the cylinder has a built-in regulator to set your flow rate, and the push-fit system connects in seconds.
This is the Ultra cylinder, the one to choose if you weld a fair amount and want fewer changes. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
