Sacha, does this wire netting have a special name or is it just plain
and simple chicken wire type netting ?

Just chicken wire, Val. It's wrapped round firmly over the edges of the
ramp and secured underneath it. That door is used by all of us and the
tea room staff going in and out to the garden constantly. If you use
the method, be sure there are no uncaught edges for a toe to slide into!

Good point, tx

Some of our local board walks in marshy areas have wire netting nailed
over them. It seems to work pretty well and resists the constant
tramping of boots.

And just to back up the 'how to attach it' advice, I just took a look at
our ramp. The wire is wrapped underneath it and fixed on with staples
every so often, and yes, they are the kind you hammer in.

Right, gotcha
