Ah. I thought you meant railway sleepers. They are probably 5 x the price though.

Fixing them to the ground is easy - you just need a drill with a big boring bit, some lengths of rebar and a mallet.

Nope, I'm currently paying £21 + VAT for reclaimed sleepers and they are considerably larger than new 'sleepers' (2.6m x 25cm x 15 cm). I prefer to bed the bottom sleeper on a couple of inches of wet concrete.

Anyway, here's one we made earlier.....

What's the thinking behind laying sleepers and then grovelling over the top?

Is it harder wearing or quicker?
