this particular part of the decking is on a

If it's a permanant walk way then you could do what local councils do
on wooden decked bridges and nail down 3/4" wire netting.

Oh! but surely wire netting can be slippery too ?


Not in my experience, anti-rabbit type wire netting stapled on is used
extensively in Parks and Large Gardens and even boardwalks.

We have it nailed over the wheelchair ramp that goes into the back door
leading to the tea room. Nobody has slipped on it, ever.


An excellent way of making wooden walkways slip-proof, but IMO it
wouldn'e
be very attractive on a patio

Indeed not. But that's not where Val wants to use it, thank goodness.

Slip of the typist I'm afraid - I meant to say decking and it came out as
patio :-(
