The best advice is not to do it! Proof was supplied last week on the news
that it is dangerous and has caused accidents to rise. This backed up what
many of us had said already, that outdoor decking turns into a slippery

I painted all the upper surfaces of mine with one of those varnish-type
treatments into which a quantity of sharp sand had been stirred. It has
worked a treat through this last winter.
