Question

Non-slip Finish For Wet Wood Decking, Or Go Composite ???


How to provide a 'non-slip' finish (residential decks project in rainy Seattle WA) on OW 'exteriorwood.com' decking and still provide a transparent stain (color) look and durability ?

Or, is it best to go with 'ADA slip-test' rated' composite decking on the 'walkway areas' and step treads... might look good if inset right with OW decking in adjacent 'sitting' areas ?

Thoughts ?
