A wonderful set of steps! The replacement railway sleepers blend in perfectly and without very close inspection you would never know they had not been down for some time. An excellent match!

Clearly Roly has good taste, and approves of this raised bed vantage point to oversee all garden activities. Creating curves out of straight lengths of railway sleepers is a tricky business, that requires maximum supervision.

A wonderful range of landscaping creations with railway sleepers, that highlight the different levels in your garden to great effect. The solid railway sleeper shed is a natural addition that blends perfectly with the other structures. It's a shame that you have some leaking problems. Normally this is because new railway sleepers shrink as they dry out, creating slight gaps that windblown rain can seap through. It would be a shame to have to overclad the railway sleepers with other timber, so I hope you find some way of using mastic sealant to deal with those leaks, so you can see the railway sleepers in all their glory!

Great to see the photos of your railway sleeper project, especially with the before, during and after shots. Initially I puzzled making sense of your 'finished' pictures as there are disappearing walls and fencing to take into account, but the end product is an attractive, open and peaceful garden. Gently designed and subtly transformed.

Along the willow-lined edge of the river Soare, there are gorgeous properties whose gardens border the water. As their lawns dip into the river, the bank is supported by old railway sleepers slotted into steel i-beams or RSJs. A beautiful setting to sit and daydream.

It's almost miraculous that a weathered piece of 50 year old railway sleeper can be transformed from a battered chunk of wood into a smooth rounded bowl. A magical change that leaves one open mouthed!
