thank you sir,

I much prefer it to the softwood sleepers ive done in the past.

looks much more rustic I think especially when the sleepers weather in

after now working with both, id definitely recommend oak sleepers to work with both well worth the few extra ££

Did a retaining wall about 2 years ago , best way I found was put RSJ in the ground standing up right and drop the sleepers down , hope this helps.
