Description

Reclaimed Oak Railway Sleepers

Our reclaimed oak railway sleepers are heavy, solid timbers with years of working life
already behind them, ready for a second one in landscaping and ground works taken from German railway lines.
Reclaimed from genuine railway use and creosote-treated, they are built to sit outdoors in Irish
weather and take a load, which makes them a favourite for retaining walls, steps,
raised edging and structural landscaping. Each sleeper carries the marks and character
of its history, so no two are identical. Because they are an industrial, creosote-
treated product, they are for outdoor structural use only, not for vegetable beds,
seating or anywhere with food or regular skin contact. If you tell us what you are
building and the run you need to cover, we will help you work out how many sleepers and
what fixings to order, and get them delivered nationwide.

Important: creosote‑treated timber – EU legislation
These sleepers contain creosote and must only be used in accordance with current EU legislation on creosote‑treated wood. They are not suitable for gardens or any domestic use where people may have regular contact with the timber. Customers are responsible for ensuring that their use of these sleepers complies with all relevant EU and national regulations.

Where these sleepers may be used (examples)
– Agricultural or industrial retaining structures with no regular public contact
– Farm or yard edging and tracks in non‑public areas
– Heavy‑duty barriers, bollards or similar structures on farms or industrial sites
– Landscaping in restricted‑access commercial or industrial locations

These examples are indicative only. The buyer must confirm that their specific application is legally compliant.

Where these sleepers must NOT be used
– Private or public gardens and general domestic landscaping
– Children’s play areas or anywhere children might sit, climb or play
– Raised beds, planters or any use in contact with soil used for growing food
– Garden furniture, seating, steps, decks, patios or paths used by people
– Any internal or enclosed space

If there is any doubt, customers should obtain specialist advice before purchase and use.

Order acceptance and compliance
To protect customers and ensure legal compliance, McNamara Fencing may reject or cancel an order for these reclaimed sleepers if the intended use appears to be non‑compliant with EU creosote regulations, or if the buyer cannot demonstrate a suitable application. By placing an order, the customer confirms that the sleepers will only be used in legally permitted ways.

Third‑party shipping notice
Depending on stock level and delivery location, these reclaimed sleepers may be shipped directly from a trusted third‑party supplier or partner yard. Delivery details and requirements (such as unloading) may vary and will be confirmed with the customer where necessary.

Reclaimed product – quality and returns
These are reclaimed railway sleepers:
– Appearance, colour and surface cracking will vary from sleeper to sleeper. May contain small amounts of decay.

– Dimensions are approximate and may differ due to wear and cutting
– Old bolt holes, metal fixings and other marks from previous use are normal

Because of the reclaimed nature of this product, returns are not accepted on reclaimed sleepers. If buyers are concerned about visual appearance or grading, they should visit the McNamara Fencing yard to inspect current stock before purchasing.
