Railway Sleepers

Garden Hardwood Sleepers

Hardwood Railway Sleepers ​

Hardwood sleepers are untreated as hardwood is an incredibly dense and durable timber and does not rot readily when in ground contact. Because these railway sleepers are untreated, they are great for vegetable beds in the garden. When it comes to a landscaping project, the type of sleeper you choose can make all the difference. Our hardwood railway sleepers are not only durable but also bring a natural aesthetic to your garden. They can be used to create beautiful flower beds and many more, adding a touch of elegance to your outdoor space.

Hardwood Sleepers
RECLAIMED Softwood WOODEN SLEEPERS ​

Softwood Railway Sleepers​

Softwood sleepers are treated for extra protection against rot, as softwood is not naturally as durable as Hardwood. Softwood sleepers are lighter to manoeuvre around your garden.
Despite being lighter than hardwood, softwood railway sleepers still offer the durability needed for most garden projects. They can also add a vibrant touch to your plant beds. Our softwood railway sleepers are not just functional but also add aesthetic appeal to any garden. Whether you’re creating a garden bed or a garden border, these sleepers will complement your garden’s design.

Softwood Sleepers

Concrete Railway Sleepers

Concrete railway sleepers are the perfect solution for cost-effective tracks/roadways and retaining walls, along with countless other applications.
When it comes to durability and versatility, our concrete railway sleepers are second to none. They’re an excellent choice for those looking for a more modern touch. Concrete railway sleepers are perfect for creating a sleek and stylish garden bed or border.

Concrete Sleepers
Excellent service from first casual enquiry to delivery. Very helpful and communication excellent. We had spent ages trying to find the right size sleepers to replace our 30 year old ones and they had them in stock. Delighted with our finished project as we wanted a natural look.
Diana Corris
These sleepers are the best in the country and the service the company offers is exceptional. The untreated tropical sleepers are a mixture of super tough eucalyptus like ironbark, red gum and spotted gum – and other rainforest timbers such as angelim and piqua. Recycling this wonderful wood is essential.
Eastbourne Fencing
Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff who could not have done more to ensure that I left with the best, most suitable sleepers possible. It was easily worth the 160-mile round trip to get such a service. Should I ever need untreated Jarrah sleepers again, I would not hesitate to visit again!
Steve Chandler
I ordered 20 railway sleepers from KJ Bownes last Thursday. They were helpful on the phone and were able to suggest a product & size that was ideal for my particular project. They delivered them the following day with no issues. Thoroughly happy, the sleepers and service was spot on.
Laura Machin
I bought a few sleepers and some slat slabs a while back. Cannot fault them, great service and fantastic product. Will be back in spring for more to finish my garden off.
Simon Cruse
Fantastic, found some lovely reclaimed sleepers. Reasonable price & delivery. Even went the extra mile and helped hand ball them round the back of the house. Would definitely use again.
Carina Martin
Excellent service. Highly recommend this company. Quick turn around of service when I’ve asked for more Sleepers at an annoying last minute. I really appreciate this company. Many thanks you have helped our garden project to keep flowing smoothly when we could see we were going to run out of sleepers at the last minute. We managed to get more from you without any hassle and extremely quickly. Highly recommend this company. 👌
