Railway sleepers can last for many years, even decades without being treated. This is especially true for reclaimed railway sleepers. If you like, you can add an extra layer of protection against sun and weather damage by applying a wood preservative. Which sleepers last the longest? The length of the legs will depend on the kind of railway sleeper you have. If it’s the square variety, you’ll have to take into account the width of the surface area, if you have the one that resembles a plank, you’ll have to add railway sleepers on top of each other to get the height right. To make it simple, measure the width of the railway sleeper you’re working with and add length to it until the total measurement is around 40 cm (16 inches) high. Use a brush and make sure to brush all the dust away. When you’re ready, get your wood sealant or stain and start painting your new creation. Let the layer dry completely between applying coats. You will need at least two or three coats to create a stunning finish.Before drilling, make sure to start in the centre of the plus sign where the lines cross. Drill until you’ve drilled through the top railway sleeper into the one functioning as a leg. You can now either switch drill bits or continue on to the next cross. If you continue on, drill all the pilot holes before switching your spade bit for the auger bit.
