Hi, I want to build a small wall to push dung up against, was thinking about using 2 steel beams (UC's), and putting wooden sleepers in between them. Where do I look to buy the right size beams? I'm in East sussex.

You will only want shortish beams? go down the scrapyard or to a local steel fabricator, get them for a tenner each, then with the money saved cast the wall between with concrete rather than sleepers.
