8' 6" Reclaimed Creosoted
Grade A A324 Railway Sleepers

Grade A Creosote Treated Railway Sleepers, 8'6" x 10" x 6" (2.59m x 254mm x 152mm) The most popular and commonly used sleeper by far. They are treated with creosote and are best applied wherever longevity and durability are the key requirements. The creosote treatment means the rules below apply at all times , but they are fine for any and every other purpose.

Please Note
Because of recent findings relating to creosote there are restrictions on where creosote-treated timber can be used. The vast majority of applications are still absolutely fine, and the times when you cannot use any of the creosote-treated sleepers are basically when you are making seating, using railway sleepers indoors or making a play area for children.

The full list of prohibitions, according to EC & EEC regulations, is as follows: Inside building, whatever their purpose. In toys. In playgrounds. In Garden furniture. In gardens where there is a risk of `frequent` skin contact - "frequent" is advised by the DTI to mean "habitual or constant" so no furniture or leaning posts!

The practice observed by us and all our customers is simply to wear gloves when handling treated sleepers.
