Stop what moving?
You said there would be a little play. I guess that means the sleepers might move a bit. Is there any way of stopping this?

For the project you have in mind it’s not gonna be the end of the world if there is a little play.
The green sleepers will dry and the hole get bigger. But the seasoned dowels will swell when the absorb ambient moisture. So will remain tight.Thanks for your reply. Is there anything I can do to stop it moving?

Hi,
I'm wanting to build low a garden wall with green oak sleepers, the sleepers laying horizontally on top of each other. I'll be using dowels for joints, probably seasoned/kiln dried.
I've heard in the past something to do with shrinkage with the drilled holes. Will the holes gradually become smaller or wider as the sleepers season?
