Rot resistant sleepers

[seanycurran]

Hi all,

 

Hope people are keeping safe and busy!

 

I dont suppose anybody has any suggestions on where I can get hold of 5 oak (or alternative, naturally rot resistant) sleepers 200mm x 100mm min length 1.83m around Haslemere or Dorking, Surrey?

 

Cheers

Sean

I got 4 sweet Chestnut that I milled a few yrs ago.  Been in a poly tunnel so well dry. I forgot to take pics today. I will measure tomorrow.

i'm in Brighton, maybe this will help you out,

Green English oak sleepers are £30-40.
Dry will be very expensive.

Call AVS at Milford and book a collection slot, they’re still open but by appointment only. 
 

Around £25-30 I would think. 
 

usually I have a couple dozen at my yard but not currently.

Great thanks for all the responses! Ah I didn't realise AVS were operating again! I'll give them ago.
Thanks for the offer of the sweet chestnut, if I can grab them from AVS, they're only up the road from the job.

I did measure them today.. and some were a little bit smaller than your min dimensions,  not much thou. I put it down to well dried wood ? And the usual sc splitting at the ends.... 

 

let me know if they (avs) can’t help..  .. ?

I've got a stack of Larch ones in stock but probably to far for you
