I recently purchased a fancy new trailer which has and integral ramp.
The rear door folds down like a garage door to make a ramp. The
problem is that the ramp gets slippery with all the ice and snow
around here. Who has ideas on how to make the ramp less slippery?
Someone said that stick-ons like they use in a bathtub would work. I
don't know how durable that would be. An idea I had is a spray liner
on like they use on a pickup truck. Any other ideas out there?

Lawrence in Minnesota

Stick on non slip stuff works and comes in many witdths and work. You
could use paint and throw on sand before it dries. You would need to
put it in a garage and warm it for glue or paint to adhere and cure.

How about something like this:

You might try a google search on: "non skid" ramps

Thank you for that most helpful reply. That option would be far more
durable than any stick on or spray on product.

Put down a piece of 1/2" ply and nail a row of roof shingles to use as a
walkway. Two rows for a drive on ramp.
