anti slip matting

[rsvp]

The old brick pathway into the garden never gets any sun therefore the bricks are permanently wet a very slippery. Also there is a three foot raised part of the garden surrounding it giving limited airflow. Power cleaning, scrubbing and topical applications offer very, very limited improvment. It's very dark and damp. I'appreciate some advice as the whether or not rubber matting would give me a good grip and if so what would be the best type. Thank you

rubber matting -the sort used in horse trailers and stables -would be a good choice as you can hose it down and it has little holes in it to drain away the water. they usually come in 8'x4 sheets though. What about fake grass -seriously-?

magsmay - I'd been checking out that - just wasn't sure if it would actually work if put down on top of bricks - thanks

Well it is designed to sit on top of concrete (in stables). The only problem would be if the bricks were very uneven it wouldn't sit flat but if they are fairly level then it would work. Its difficult to cut though but not impossible. I've found the only thing to impede the growth of green slime is Jeyes fluid -don't swill if off just leave it but you've probably tried that already. I've just found this link may be of help to you

One of my customers had a similar problem with wooden decking. They solved it by fastening chicken wire to the decking.

carrust - that's food for thought - thank you
