Yep sleepers have sky rocketed round here lately. (Then again everything has)@daleyd
When did the beds at a care home, we found the cost of sleepers to be extremly expensive.
We went to a rec yard and had a good choice of sleepers, but the cost of transport again was shocking.
We used in the end second hand scaffold boards.
Cheep, cleaned up well.
Single skin beds to the height of 2 boards high.
Fixings them to the ground was with stakes and strips cut from boards that were not good for the frames or off cuts from them.
Same here, pallet collars come in different sizes and are very handy, easily movable, stackable.I used 4x3’s in our old house. By the time they’re rotted the beds and grass paths are well established so they remain once the wood is removed.
Edit, they are very cheap if you collect them. Last shout was less than a fiver each.
That is very cheap!!
Transporting them is a killer though.
Thanks Gaz, unfortunately I’m quite time poor so that isn’t likely to be a goer!make your own concrete wall panels
