Top Tips

• new sleepers are machined from natural timber that has not undergone any drying process and will naturally season over time
• as the timber dries, shrinkage will occur in different directions - this will develop a natural look and will not affect the integrity of your sleeper
• sleeper dimensions may vary slightly to sizes stated - they are not machined to an exact tolerance which helps gives them their individual, natural character

• Our suppliers use unseasoned timber to manufacture our new softwood and hardwood sleepers. As this timber has not been subjected to a fast drying process it will season and mature over time, expanding and contracting with the weather. This process may create splits, checks and shakes in the timber which add character to their unique appearance. These natural changes do not affect the integrity of the product. The colour of the sleeper will also change, silvering over time.

• All sleeper sizes are nominal as this is rough sawn products and not machined to an exact tolerance. This enhances their individuality and appearance. Please contact us if you require any further information.
