Hi All
Looking for some advice. I want to create a Sleeper border to my garden. Sleepers ive purchased are 2.4m by 20cm by 10cm.
I'm thinking dig down 10cm, level, place some concrete and sharp sand down into the trench and level off the sleepers on their side ie 10cm showing above the grass and 10cm in the trench.
Then between the side fencing and the sleeper I will place top soil.
I'm looking for some inspiration on this front so any pictures most welcome (of your garden layout of course).
Does anyone have any experience of installing sleepers? Angle brackets, mending plates etc a must or would the concrete be enough? I've seen people drill holes into the underside of the sleeper and install metal rods to then go into the ground.
Any experiences or guidance welcome
Many Thanks
