Ideas on how to use Railway Sleepers

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Admin 12 Comments

At Wilsons Conservation Building Products (Wilsons Yard) we sell thousand of reclaimed railway sleepers throughout Ireland every year. Reclaimed railway sleepers are a very versatile product that can be used in many different ways – both structural or decorative.  Sometimes it’s not obvious what you can use or create using things like reclaimed oak railway sleepers. So if you have a garden project or want to design railway sleepers into your garden etc then find below a few examples  

Hope you get some inspiration!!!! Nigel

      Hi Agnes,
      I am in Galway too. Also looking for railway sleepers.  Would it be cheaper to buy a load together if you haven't got yours already?

      Hi Joanne, We always have a variety of nice waxed oak and pine beams in stock that are suitable for fireplace mantles. However if you need a specific sizes then it’s probably best to call our timber Yard on UK 02892 699191 / Ire 048 92 699191 and have one specifically finished for you. Joanne please do not be tempted to put actual Railway sleeper in your house as they contain oil and would stink and may be unhealthy.

      We do not sell any product for railway sleepers, but I personally just use Ronseal Fence life in Tudor Black – but you will have to try a bit and make sure it works for you.
