Perfect for your project
The great thing about softwood sleepers is their versatility. They can be laid flat and used as edgings or stacked and interlocked like bricks to create attractive raised beds, patio planters, steps and garden seating but are strong enough for building retaining walls. Being rough sawn, softwood sleepers have a lovely natural texture and age beautifully, but their uniform size and straight edges make them equally at home in rustic and contemporary gardens. For inspiration and ideas for using wooden sleepers in your garden read our guide. AWBS hold a range of garden sleepers in stock at our branches in Oxford, Yarnton & Swindon and offer free local delivery within 25 miles.

A delivery service you can trust
At AWBS, our local deliveries are carried out using our own dedicated fleet of vehicles, operated by our experienced and fully trained delivery drivers, meaning a safe and efficient service. Keeping deliveries in-house means we maintain full control over handling, scheduling and service quality from the moment your order leaves us to the point it is delivered to you.
For larger or heavier materials, we typically use crane offload lorries, allowing controlled unloading on site and, where possible, placing your goods where you need them, helping to reduce manual handling on site. For smaller orders that do not require crane offload, we operate a fleet of flatbed vans that provide a flexible and reliable solution. This mixed vehicle fleet allows us to tailor each delivery to the type and size of your order, ensuring a smooth, professional service for both domestic and trade customers. Any deliveries outside of our free delivery zone will incur a haulage charge and be carried out by a third party haulage company who we trust. You can check if you qualify for free delivery here!
