- Cutting, drilling and using fasteners is possible on these sleepers with preferably commercial tools and equipment. Perfect for serious DIY projects and commercial applications. Stain-able and sand-able (machine sanding) for a richer, sleeker finish. Takes well to regular oiling.
- Due to these sleepers not having been placed in a railway network they do not have the grit, dirt and stones that can be embedded in used sleepers, making them ideal for projects that require adaptable timber that is simple to cut and easy to work with on designs to specification. Consistency in colours, size, shape & weathering.
