If the sleepers are treated wood, with creosote or salt treated, it would
be a good idea to make sue that no runoff from the sleepers can enter the
pond. Wrap the liner over the top.

Morning all

I'm building a part raised pond - 9' x 6' - hole is dug to 4' & I'm
planning on raising the dges by another 20" or so using railway sleepers.
I think new ones will be better, cleaner & easier to use, but does anyone
have any thoughts on securing them to the ground.

Will a frame of sleepers secured with heavy duty brackets be strong enough
to hold the additional 20" of water?

Cheers
