Default Problem with sleepers

A few years ago we landscaped our garden and used old sleepers for a
wall (4 high). Since then we've had a little boy and now realised that
it wasn't the most 'child-friendly' wall. Every time he sits or walks on
it he gets splinters; hence we have a problem. We were thinking of
covering them with some kind of screening but I'm not sure which would
be best. Obviously something like artifical grass would be ideal in
terms of softness but it would look silly. I was thinking of possibly
heather, willow or thatch screening but can't get to feel them to see if
they are soft enough or whether they also produce splinters. Any advice
would be gratefully received.
Thanks


What is a "sleeper"?


Are you incapable of using a dictionary, or instead prefer to
demonstrate to the entire world how you're as ignorant as a piece of
lumber... um, don't scratch your head, you'll get splinters. LOL
