    Winter is Coming! | Get your Wood Deck & Sleepers Ready During Autumn

    What about Softwood Railway Sleepers

    If you are lucky enough to have or are planning to install Green Treated Sleepers or Brown Treated Railway Sleepers, it will be a good idea to prepare your Garden Sleepers for the Winter.

    The level of care required for your Sleepers is dependent on whether you Railway Sleepers Treated or Untreated.

    Treated Sleepers will typically be either Green or Brown.

    Green Treated Sleepers tend to be Tanalised.

    Tanalised Green Treatment is a deep tanalisation into the Timber Cells.

    Green Railway Sleepers have a Green Tinge, which over time will turn a Light Brown and then a Silvery Grey if they are not Painted.

    Brown Railway Sleepers are typically Pressure Treated with Tanalith pressure injected into the Timber.

    A treated Garden Sleeper will typically have a LifeSpan of 8-12 Years. However, with some straightforward care, you can increase the Life Span of your Sleeper.

    During Autumn, we would recommend cleaning any dirty Sleepers using a hose and a light cleaning solution.

    Rinse away any Solution with Clean Water and ensure your Railway Sleepers are free from mould or algae.

    After giving your Railway Sleepers a scrub and once free from Algae and mould, check for any signs of Rot.

    If you do find some rot, use a wet rot wood hardener on the affected areas of your garden sleeper.

    If you want to retain your Garden Sleepers Natural Colour, use wood preservatives such as a clear deck oil that contains UV filters.

    Alternatively, use a Coloured wood protector adding two or three coats for extra protection.

    Finally, if you have cut your Treated Sleeper, add an extra layer of Treatment to the Sawn Area.

    Autumn Time is fantastic for Laying Sleepers.

    In particular, using Wooden Sleepers for Raised Beds are very popular during the Autumn months, as the Soil and the Raised Bed will be ready for use come the following Spring.
