LightGauge Timber Railway Sleepers with Metal Grip Non-Slip Treads for Garden Paths If you're looking to install a unique garden path using Timber Sleepers, one of the key things to consider is the quality of the grip on each sleeper when walking over it. If there is no additional grip added to the sleeper, they may be slippery in wet conditions and unsafe for walking over in adverse weather. Our Timber Railway Sleepers with Metal Grip Treads offers a solution for this. On each sleeper, a small metal wedge is driven into the centre of the sleeper, which protrudes the edge of the wood by a few millimetres. This small wedge offers additional grip and ensures the full surface of the sleeper is not slippery in the wet, making it safe and easy to walk over, or move wheelbarrows across. It also retains its grip if mud gets on the path.
