Railway Sleepers C 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

C Grade

C Grade Railway Sleepers have all the characteristics of the above grades but can have more serious damage to most sides. A larger amount of rot to the underside is allowable however a grade C sleeper will always have one good face. It can be used to edge driveways, stand portable buildings or containers on or a plethora of other uses. An older sleeper, more rustic but still full length. Mostly used for garden bordering or rustic feature timbers.
