Review of a couple of antislip options for a wooden ramp

[@eltonsipes3713]

I am doing the same thing. My ramp is 4 feet wide for a wheelchair, with treated 2x6 boards, layed down with a 3/8" gap between them. Today I cut 20 strips 5 inches wide from asphalt shingles. I am going to run a bead of PL adhesive around the edge and twice across the middle of the strips bottom side before I nail them down. Then I want to paint over the asphalt strips with a Rustoleum oil based paint that I thinned 25 percent with thinner, so the paint will help to secure and hold the sandy top stuff in place.

what about anti-skid coating made for decks and other outdoor ramps?

We used the tape and you're right! Didn't work well at all!

@@doitcontractors7351 what about using galvanized washers with the nails to increase the surface area of pressure on the roof shingle? Would that work?
