What an beautiful collection of railway sleeper creations. The curved railway sleeper seating area is impressive and spectacular, and I love your other imaginative additions. The 'stepping stone' pathway, the little bench, the raised beds - all very delightful.

Thanks to Heather for the wonderful photos of her excellent project. A lovely 'tiled' effect by using small sections of old tropical hardwood railway sleepers to imaginatively create a unique, weathered, wooden patio surface. Really attractive, hard wearing and an impressive transformation of what was there before.

Yes, it's a popular saying that is shared by many gardeners! Lawns are gradually nibbled away by the additions of endless planting areas, veg plots and railway sleeper raised beds, until the main grass area has been reduced to narrow walkways between the herbacious borders! It's the unstoppable and exciting natural progression of creating more and more growing areas. Of course, there may be objections to this. What is this obsession (by mainly men) to have large striped lawns, as though they were recreating Wimbledon, Wembley or a croquet lawn? I'm sure it's connected to the power and excitement of turbo lawnmower gadgetry!

James purchased some new telegraph poles to hold some floodlights and support some ball netting.
He reckoned they look pretty cool. We agree. They do look spectacular. An amazing setting for a 5 a side football match, surrounded by floodlit overhanging trees.

What an impressive transformation from rough sawn new pine railway sleepers to smooth, elegant sitting room shelves and fireplace. Very stylish.

In the busy world of building supplies, you need practicality, efficiency and durability for your bays of materials. As loading machines push and knock against the walls every day, the steel RSJ framework and hardwood railway sleepers take quite a battering, and they are up to the task! The added bonus with this system of slotting railway sleepers into these steel channels, is that should one railway sleeper ever break, you can slide it out and replace it! Normally seen in commercial settings, this method is gaining popularity in domestic projects, where the landscape design requires both raw strength, practical construction and an industrial look.

A simple carved message on a railway sleeper bench. A chance to sit and dream. To take a breather. To hang out and chat. To have a game of chess. To wait for friends. To plan your next wonderful railway sleeper creation.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the wonderful pictures of her raised beds that she created from the old railway sleepers. They are brimming over with gorgeous plants in such a beautiful setting and the weathered reclaimed railway sleepers give the impression that they have been there for ever.

It's great to see all the photos of Ted & Liz's railway sleeper project. A journey that progressed from lovely hand drawn designs, through wet and muddy digging, and finally on to stylish raised beds and sleek edging. Once planted up, their landscaping creation will look really amazing and crying out for post lockdown barbecues!
