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

Bill

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 :-(

Bill

Aha! Someone else who never watched "Ground Force"

Cheers, Jake

Loved it - wished they'd come to me :-)

Bill

I could never understand the reason for digging up a proper patio and
replacing it with decking! OTOH, I enjoyed the weekly installation of
the water feature - usually shifted into position without the aid of
any support, if you get my drift

Cheers, Jake

Just thinking that Dave Hill's theme tune should
come from "The Merry Widow" (Lehar). "Dahlia, oh Dahlia ..."

The cat's web site is atwww.pillie.me.uk. His current theme
tune goes "I'm a dead mole; I don't live in a hole ..."

Thanks fort the thought Jake, but I would think more like "The day
that the rains came down"
Just 0.75" of rain yesterday, and nothing forecast till late afternoon
today.
