Thank you, guess my budget Bosch drill (present) ain't up to the job then .

You'd be surprised with a pilot hole, but the torque isn't nice to manage with a decent drill. An impact is just safer.

Sleepers are expensive, so do your sums to work out total costs first.

An impact driver is worth every penny when putting in lots of screws. I've been using these in 75mm and 100m lengths for some new raised beds:

For the inside liner, I've been using DPM from Screwfix. Cut it to size and then stapled into the timber.

So many birds this year. The lawns are being depleted of worms and grubs. It is good to see though,several pairings of blackbirds a gang of starlings, bossy sparrows and I believe the odd finch. I sit out on the patio and they get used to my presence, coming quite close.
