Clearly Ola Aina and the Nottingham Forest players are feeling on top of the world as they walk out on the training ground. Probably because they've qualified to play in Europe next year after a fabulous season. Or maybe because they've spotted some amazing railway sleeper raised beds! Hmmm...

It's an understandable question. What can you do with a one ton railway sleeper that's 8.5m long? It requires a bit of creative imagination. Maybe you could use it to build a bridge over rapids, or an exciting open plan house extension, or support a daring elevated platform that leans out from a cliff edge. Maybe a tree top walkway, or a medieval trebuchet to hurl large boulders at pesky neighbours. It's a unique piece of timber and it requires an amazing project!

A brilliant alternative to thin, softwood decking, that is full of character. These hefty hardwood railway sleepers will last for decades and provide a perfect entrance to a building, or patio space. Sturdy, durable and strong enough to support the weight of a visiting elephant or sociable hippopotamus.

If you want a solid front wall that looks both stylish and yet also natural, then look no further than than this beautiful construction from new oak railway sleepers. Passersby can't help but admire the oak wall as it gradually weathers to a graceful silver grey, as the sun bleaches the surface. Impressive landscaping.
