Anti Slip Material

[Parm]

Does anyone know what the correct name is for the anti slip strips applied to a staircase ?

And where can I get some from ?

I need something that can be fixed to the wooden threads of an external staircase

Cheers

You can also mix sand/grit to a quality resin type floor paint.

@Parm I have a big roll of this stuff, adhesive backed [I trimmed the ends to round them off]. You're welcome to have as much off the roll as you want/need - it's 4" wide.

Hi John, that's exactly the stuff I need. What is it called and where do I get some from ?

I need quite a bit.

Its for the external wooden staircase that leads up to my office at home.

The wooden treads are a magnet for moss and algae, add a small amount of rain and its like walking on ice covered in oil

Theses are the offending steps. They don't look too bad but they are slippery as hell.

The screwed in strips are just the ticket, much easier to install than the glued on variety.

Thanks as usual folks

Firstly, Parm, a blast with a high pressure hose would help.

I'd be thinking of fine chicken mesh and fencing 'u' nail thingies.

You'll have trouble attaching bands of anti slip stuff unless you p.u. and nail them.

All of this in a friendly helpful way.

 

[Craig-SM]

Try a good clean and then filling the grooves with resin and grit.

On a side note, that keg has something that looks suspiciously like a still attached to it

On topic +1 for chicken wire wrapped around the stairs, pretty much everywhere on the forestry trails around here have this arrangement.

Yep that is my normal go to solution, but problem is that there is a large willow tree that provides a canopy over the decking and stairs and this is in a shaded part of the garden. No matter how much I clean the woodwork the green stuff comes back very quickly.

This morning I slipped and fell and now nursing a sore back and head.

I agree the gluing anything isn't going to work very well

The stuff that @WorkshopChris linked to is perfect as it can be fixed directly with wood screws. Ive ordered enough to do the job and should provide enough slip resistance.

Those strips look ok but for a longer lasting solution chicken wire works very well.
When I lived in the Brecon Beacons we had a similar flight of steps in the garden - I ended up walking up the grass bank each time - far safer! used some chicken wire and the grip was incredible - not very pretty though!

Thanks @fizzy, not very helpful, but funny

Ive still got (somewhere) my knitted humpty dumpty from when I was a kid
