I'm just about to build some raised planters around our patio using oak sleepers. Before I get busy ordering materials, does anyone have any tips on building and also avoiding premature rot?
I used oak for community projects. Luxury oak company seems to be cheapest.I'm just about to build some raised planters around our patio using oak sleepers. Before I get busy ordering materials, does anyone have any tips on building and also avoiding premature rot?

Not far from you.
New oak sleepers ( dimensions ? ) sounds very spendy..unless you fell the trees yourself as I do , going to be outside cutting trunks shorter as soon as I've finished this here sandwich break, if it doesn't begin raining ..again..No, they’ll be new oak ones.
As you say, actual sleepers are pretty much bomb proof but are too rustic for what we want.
200 x 100mm x 2.4m. Yes, plenty of ££££. Unfortunately, I haven’t got any available to cut down!New oak sleepers ( dimensions ? ) sounds very spendy..unless you fell the trees yourself as I do , going to be outside cutting trunks shorter as soon as I've finished this here sandwich break, if it doesn't begin raining ..again..
