That said, are you sure sleepers are the best thing?
They get slippery when wet, and if in shady areas can get
positively
lethal. Also, many sleepers weep oil when warm (softwoods
especially),
and if it's near the house you'll soon be tramping black footprints
on
your carpets.

Hmmmmm, I hadn't considered any of that. Time for a rethink.
Many thanks.

You can wrap chicken wire around the sleepers to make them safe. Not
elegant but it does work. I treid yacht anti-slip once but that was
not a huge success.

You need to rough up the surface in some way as they are an accident
waiting to happen in the damp British climate - I know, I had some in
a shady garden once...........:~((
