there are moves afoot to prevent the sale of sleepers impregnated with creosote. Certainly for any used that are likely to come into contact with the food chain or children or water courses then it is banned. (i think it is an eu directive) I know more and more suppliers are now shying away from them
Maybe someone should inform some of my neighbours who used old railway sleepers to retain their gardens along the brook that forms our rear boundary.
I've pulled a few out that got washed away after over 30 years and use them as retaining walls for some raised beds.
A local pub surrounded the drinking garden with sleepers making both a fence and a place to sit and drink or eat. lol
Those sleepers were set lengthways into the ground making them both attractive in a fort style and also very firm.
