railroad ties lowe's
Railroad ties available at Lowe's represent a versatile and durable landscaping solution that has evolved from their original railway application to become a staple in residential and commercial landscaping projects. These pressure-treated timber pieces, typically measuring 6x8 inches in cross-section and 8 feet in length, are specifically engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions and heavy loads. The ties undergo an intensive treatment process using preservatives that protect against decay, insects, and weather damage, ensuring longevity in various outdoor applications. Lowe's offers both new and reclaimed railroad ties, with new ties featuring consistent dimensions and fresh treatment, while reclaimed ties provide a weathered, rustic appearance. These landscape timbers are particularly valued for their structural integrity and versatility in garden design, retaining wall construction, and creating raised beds. The ties feature precise cuts and uniform dimensions, making them ideal for stacking and interlocking applications. Their substantial weight and dimensional stability make them excellent choices for soil retention and erosion control projects.
