What happens if you drop the fire onto the sleepers? As with wooden sleepers the fire should only be dropped in the appropriate place. However should hot coals drop on the track they will mark but they will only burn in exceptional cases.
Life Expectancy The sleeper system has been manufactured from a high grade virgin polypropylene, the properties of which can be guaranteed. Polypropylene has a very high stiffness with high impact strength therefore it is incredibly strong. It is UV, rot and frost resistant and is virtually unaffected by moisture. Treated in an appropriate manner the sleepers should give a long and trouble free service, alleviating a number of the problems associated with wood.
