New sleepers - oak vs treated

mloc123 · 2021-01-17 19:29:50

Which is the better option here? Oak obviously is nicer, but will pressure treated deal last longer? They will be used for lawn edging, on the ground on a foundation of sand/gravel

Just standard 2x1 treated. The section to the left of the pillar I did about a year ago. Plan to have a go rendering the pillar when the weather picks up a bit.
