Does anyone know the best way to make this ramp nonslip? We get a fair amount of ice and snow and there are a couple elderly folks using the ramp.

We tried a basic nonslip rubber mat, but the grooves just hold ice and snow so don't really help.

Our current ideas are maybe adding rubber stair treads every board or two, or maybe tacking little strips of wood to every board.

is this ramp used by somone in a wheelchar if not i would thin the easyest soulution is to just take some wood and screw it in along the ramp to make "steps"

Occasionally we push someone up with a wheelchair but most of the time they're walking. I debated the wood idea but it will make shoveling the ramp off much more difficult.

space the out so you can get your shovel in between and push the snow off the side
