Default Railway sleepers


Stephen G wrote in message ...
I need approx. 6 railway sleepers for raised bed. How much should I

expect
to pay and where is the best place to buy them?


Garden Centres, Builders Merchants or reclamation places, but you should
bear in mind that any sold now will not be British as they were always
treated with creosote, and creosote and creosote treated items are now
banned from sale in Europe due to the fact that one of the compounds in
creosote has been found to be implicated in causing certain cancers.
Used sleepers from the rest of Europe are OK because they do not use
creosote.
