Josh, Eric and I are building a ramp so my dad can get into my house this summer. All of the design is done, the flower bed in front of the back steps was torn apart last Saturday and this coming Saturday the boys are coming to help me put the ramp together and install. Dad doesn't know this is happening, he has fallen again and is weaker. So all steps to keep him coming for dinners is appropriate. I have checked and am planning a foot of run for every inch of drop (ADA specs) what I am having problems with is what to do for traction on a wet, angled, slippery slope for all of us. Tread grippers look expensive and I can see them peeling up after a couple of rains. So, those of you in the know, ideas please.
