Natural, Unique Appearance
As a natural product, each sleeper is completely unique, with its own individual character. You can expect:
- Natural splits, knots and grain variation
- Uneven edges and minor surface irregularities
- Colour variation, which will evolve over time
Over time, the oak will naturally weather to an attractive silver-grey tone, enhancing its rustic charm. These features are not defects—they are a hallmark of genuine oak and are highly sought after in landscaping projects.
Fresh Sawn – Authentic & Untreated
Our oak sleepers are supplied fresh sawn, meaning:
- Not kiln dried
- Not planed
- Rough sawn finish for a traditional look
Due to this:
- Dimensions can vary by approximately ±5–10mm
- The timber may shrink, twist or develop surface cracks during the natural drying process
This is entirely normal for unseasoned oak and does not affect its structural integrity. When installing, we recommend allowing for slight movement and dimensional change as the timber acclimatises.
