Slippery decking in garden.

Hello,
I wondered if someone could help me or point me in the right direction. I have recently moved house and have this lovely decking area in my new garden. The problem is that with the rain it keeps getting very slippery and i find myself on the floor with another bruise! I have tried to use some anti slip paint but it only lasts for a few months and then i only know it needs re-doing once i have slipped over again.

Does anyone have any ideas what to use instead of this paint?

Thanks in advance

 

@shermanator I had exactly the same problem, then about 2 years ago I got some of this Cuprinol Anti-slip Decking Stain in natural matt. Not cheap, but I only had a fairly small amount to do, relatively easy to apply. It's still working fine for me 2nd full summer now.

 

I don't have decking , but any wood that i have to walk on, i pressure wash clean and when dry i stain it, but before i put any stain on i mix some sand into the stain first, this is what i do and will stain every year

 

Chicken wire,ugly yes, but you wont fall over again. Failing that remove anything thats causing a shadow on the decking,failing that keep it for burning on nov 5

 

to the forum @shermanator. Is your decking a very large area? I have built a cover over mine, and it is quite useful - I can even dry the washing there during rainy weather. If it gets wet by the main doorway I put a ribbed rubber mat there

 

Hello Everyone,

Thankyou for all your help. I have actually just ordered some deckigns strips from a comapny called dinogrip. They sent me a sample of it before purchasing so that i was able to see the product first. ill let you know how i get on. Type in Google 'Dinogrip' and check them out if you need a similar thing.

 

Can't remember

 

Hello everyone, i just thought id let you know how these products were. I ordered the 'decking strips' from a place called Dinogrip. They actually turned out really well and i thought id let you know i am incredibly pleased with them. I ordered them in brown to match my decking but they have plenty of other options to chose from Hope this helps anyone in the same situation
