Unbranded 7 in. x 9 in. x 8 ft. #2 Railroad Cross Tie Timber

For your next outdoor project consider using creosote-treated railroad ties. This genuine railroad tie work well for any number of landscaping and garden projects. However, these authentic used ties should not be expected to be defect-free on all four sides.Treated wood is typically still wet when it’s delivered to The Home Depot or job site. As it dries, you should expect slight changes in width and length. As lumber dries, it may split, cup and warp. This is more likely to occur to occur in lower-grade boards, where knots and uneven grains are already present. Each piece of lumber is unique and carries physical characteristics that may include the following: knots, warping, shrinkage, swelling and/or splitting.
