Railway Sleepers A Grade

Railway sleepers are recycled timbers removed from the railway lines as they are upgraded and at times removing lines from use. They are increasingly becoming harder to source as they remove timber sleepers and replace them with concrete ones. As a guide, they are graded by their quality of timber, straight sides & cracking etc.

​

The quantities and grades of sleepers we keep in our yards can change depending upon supply.

Majority of sleepers we source come in the following dimensions of 225mm (face) x 125mm (thick) and lengths of 2100mm and 2400mm.

A Grade

A Grade Railway Sleepers are a used sleeper in very good condition. It will have bolt holes where the tracks were attached to it and a small amount of damage or slight wane is acceptable to one edge. It is very sound, free from rot and can be used for stacking, building retaining walls and many other uses where a clean straight edged appearance is essential. These high quality hardwood sleepers are also ‘nice and square’ with 2-3 good sides with minimal cracking. Excellent for all purpose use, feature timbers, garden retaining walls or for landscape usage with a straight edge.
