Where is a good place to get NEW railroad ties for a shooting range backstop? Im basically looking to build a 3 sided box about 6 to 8 feet high and then fill it with sand.
Used railroad ties are no problem to find but they are usually pretty beat up. I really only want to do this once in my lifetime and don't want to use wood thats already beat up. Most pressure treated lumber says specifically not for use in direct contact with ground which this would be.
Any ideas? I could always get marine grade 2"x6" or 2"X8" used for seawalls from a dock builder. think that would be my best bet?
Thanks Daniel
