Help making this ramp nonslip for winter
(lemmy.world)
Does anyone know the best way to make this ramp nonslip? We get a fair amount of ice and snow and there are a couple elderly folks using the ramp.
We tried a basic nonslip rubber mat, but the grooves just hold ice and snow so don't really help.
Our current ideas are maybe adding rubber stair treads every board or two, or maybe tacking little strips of wood to every board.
Grip tape? There's a ton online you could order, or hit up your local hardware store. May kinds are designed for outdoor ramp/stair use.

So many crazy ideas in this thread. This is the obvious solution.
That and reinforcing the railing, thing looks flimsy af.
This is what I was about to suggest. Grip tape the crap out of it.
