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.

    If you’re worried about people slipping you really gotta reinforce that handrail first my friend. That’s nowhere near strong enough to hold up when someone is putting all their weight on it

      I’m really curious what it looks like underneath as well. From everything in view it’s not built for much strength.

        Agreed, need a rail on the otherside and/or lips added to the edges so wheelchairs don’t launch off the side at speed of things get slippy.
