Could anyone please tell me which is better,proper old sleepers,or the new
ones you can buy which have been treated?
1 Which ones look better?, look better for what? new one normally won't
have the damage from their previous use. No tar stains to stick to either.
2 Which ones are low/no maintenance?, unless you intend to re-creosote
them, neither needs much looking after.
3 Which ones last longer?, old good condition ones will normally last
longer as they have years of creosote or the like soaked into them.
Many thanks in advance from all you garden lovers.......
