There is something solid and substantial about using reclaimed Dutch oak railway sleepers. A feeling that if you were return to this garden in 50 years, you would still find these wonderful Dutch oak railway sleepers proudly holding their own, unlike the fence which will have been replaced many times over, and the owners long since moved. Another impressive long-lasting project by Justin.

Hats off to Colin & Sarah for creating an excellent raised pond that they have impeccably documented with a fine collection of photos that show every stage of the build, including even the delivery of the railway sleepers. All in all, a wonderful achievement, and an impressive and attractive water feature that has saved them thousands of pounds!

Neale has created such a beautiful raised sitting area with an outstanding view over the fields. The weathered railway sleepers blend so perfectly against the reddy brown bricks of the barn conversion, giving out the impression that they have always been there, looking out over the countryside. A real delight.

There's something very satisfying about edging a lawn or garden bed with heavy duty oak railway sleepers. It's almost similar to finishing off a much loved painting with an attractive wooden picture frame. In this case the oak railway sleepers will soon be weathered to an attractive silver grey, and will beautifully border the garden.

Wonderful pictures of your attractive railway sleeper project. The difference between the before and after photos is so striking, with the organic, curved shape of the raised bed looking like it could actually float! Delightful.

Not only do the reclaimed Dutch oak railway sleepers look great against the light coloured gravel but they are also such a straightforward and effective solution for marking out spaces in the car park, without the intrusion of slabs of concrete. A really simple yet succesful project.

There is something incredibly satisfyingly about simply placing a few railway sleepers side by side to span across a small stretch of water. No architects, no structural surveyors, just common sense and a sense of pride as you walk across!
