Railway Sleepers B Grade

Railway sleepers are recycled timbers removed from the railway lines as they are upgraded and at times removing lines from use. They are increasingly becoming harder to source as they remove timber sleepers and replace them with concrete ones. As a guide, they are graded by their quality of timber, straight sides & cracking etc.

​

The quantities and grades of sleepers we keep in our yards can change depending upon supply.

Majority of sleepers we source come in the following dimensions of 225mm (face) x 125mm (thick) and lengths of 2100mm and 2400mm

B Grade

B Grade  Railway Sleepers are also a used sleeper with all the same characteristics of the Grade A above but can have slight damage to one side and perhaps a small amount of rot to the underside where it has laid on the ground under the tracks for decades. It should have at least two good straight edges so can also be stacked and used to build retaining walls etc. A good solid hardwood sleeper with a minor defect on its face or side, generally 1-2 good sides with some cracking. Very good for all purpose use, retaining walls, vegetable beds or other landscape uses.
