Further Information
New Softwood and Hardwood Sleepers are machined from natural, organic, unseasoned timber that has not undergone any drying process so being hydroscopic it will naturally season over time which may result in them contracting, distorting and expanding with the seasons.
Splits, checks and shakes are a natural occurrence associated with landscaping timbers which help give them that natural look and will not affect the integrity of the product if orientated appropriately. They will appear as the timber dries as shrinkage will occur in different directions but don’t be alarmed as they are an entirely natural phenomenon.
Sleeper dimensions may vary as sizes stated are nominal, they are a rough sawn product and not machined to an exact tolerance which helps gives them their individual natural character.
** IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION **
As per the EU Directive 2001/90/EC, Creosote treated timber must not be used where there is a risk of frequent (i.e. often occurring, habitual or constant) skin contact. It should not be used inside buildings, to make any kind of toys, furniture or containers used for growing foodstuffs to be intended for human or animal consumption.
Always use gloves when handling creosote treated products. Creosote causes burns to skin and eyes. Ensure that all skin surfaces are protected and that safety eye goggles are used when cutting tar sleepers with hand saws or mechanical cutting equipment.
Follow health and safety precautions and wash any contaminated hands or skin thoroughly after completing the task and especially before eating.
