    Hey i am currently doing my garden up and I was wondering where I could get sleepers for a good price? Living in Dublin 15 but will travel to get them.

    im in the same situation.. i need about 30 of them.. average price even through the buy and sell seems to be at 23-25 euro. If you can get them any cheaper let me know and vice versa.

    cheers:)

    They have them down in Sextons on the main road through Glen o' the Downs.

    NB: do not use old railway sleepers without reading and fully understanding the safety warning that comes with the pallet. They are a pretty hazardous contaminated industrial waste product and are not suitable for use anywhere where people will come into contact with them, especially children. Network Rail in GB forbids the selling of sleepers to garden centres.

    You can also get timber similar to railway sleepers (presumably uncontaminated) in Sextons. I have no idea whether the price is competitive there.

    Last time I was up at the timber/coal yard in Kilcock, the one at the railway bridge on the enfield side of the town,they had new sleepers,not the tar filled ones. They were pressure treated and I think about €25 each.

    Why not use New European Pine Sleepers, new timbers, clean and pressure treated. Available from nearby Clonee Sawmills.
