    They look like reclaimed railway sleepers. There's a provider in Kilcock who has them. Most garden centres have manufactured ones which are probably better as they won't be creosote covered.

    New 8 foot long pressure treated sleepers (non creasote) are approx 18 euro from Newtown Building Supplies in Coolock or else Grange Builders Providers in Baldoyle.

    Garden Centres are much more expensive for them.

    24 euro for the exact same sleeper in Tulleys Nurseries
    22 euro from Jones Garden Centre

    The more you buy from the builders providers,the better a deal you will most likely get.

    You can get old reclaimed sleeprs (creasoted) for around 20-25 euro off of DoneDeal.

    Lots of places selling them nowadays

    Look in the Gardening and also the Building sections of Donedeal for them.

    Again,garden centers will charge you a fortune for an old reclaimed sleeper.Why,is beyond me,in this day and age:(


    Tulleys Nurseries were a joke when it came to pricing on old reclaimed sleepers,so I walked away and got them for 18 euro each off of donedeal.:D
