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.

    My two ways to go about it would be:

    1. the mentioned rubber mats and a roof so they don’t snow over
    2. a metal grating with enough of a offset of the ground/ramp that snow can fall through/get pushed through and be periodically removed from below the grates. (Maybe remove the planks and replace them with gratings.)

    Hope this helpes.
