4 Uses for Sleepers in the Garden

We love sleepers, they can add a lot of character to a project and be used in a variety of builds. Here are 4 to get you started:

1. Raised Beds 
a classic use of sleepers as they are a sturdy material which is cost effective and durable with a lovely rustic finish.

2. Retaining wall/edging 
sleepers make a great budget option for a simple retaining wall, the wood contrasts nicely with a stone patio too which works well as edging.

3. Steps 
again, for a contrasting look with stone. Steps can also be entirely fabricated from sleepers.

4. Contemporary Fencing 
sleepers can be very effective for creating structural or sculptural fences which add personality to the garden.
