PAVE THE WAY Create your own stylish entryway path. WHAT YOU WILL NEED • Railway sleepers • Drop saw • Measuring tape • Pencil • Shovel • Level • Thick bristle paint brush • Scrubbing brush • Cabot’s New Timber Prep • Stain of choice (we opted for Cabot’s Aquadeck Natural Exterior Decking Oil • Landscaping rocks. We used a ‘coastal’ mix STEP ONE Prepare the sleepers using the timber prep. Allow to dry thoroughly. STEP TWO Stain the sleepers. Be sure to apply a second coat after giving the first a chance to settle and dry for at least an hour. Once complete, we recommend allowing the sleepers a solid few hours to dry.
STEP THREE Determine the desired length for your steps. We chose to divide each sleeper in two. Measure up and mark with a pencil and then use the drop saw to cut through the sleepers. STEP FOUR It’s time to prepare the area and dig! Lay the sleepers in your chosen pattern and with your preferred spacing. We allowed 18 centimetres between each step. Use the level to ensure each sleeper is as flat as possible. STEP FIVE Shovel in the rocks. Make sure they are compact particularly around each sleeper to provide adequate support. STEP SIX Hose down the area and then flatten any rock areas that require levelling.
