Decking Grip Strips – Reliable Anti-Slip Protection for Every Step

Say Goodbye to Slippery Decks

If you’ve ever slipped on your decking after a bit of rain or frost, you know how risky it can be. That’s exactly why I recommend decking grip strips — a quick, long-lasting fix that turns your slippery decking into a safe, non-slip surface without replacing a single board.

Whether you’re working on decking with grip strips in your garden, a commercial outdoor area, or even refurbishing skate decks with grip tape, these strips provide unbeatable grip and protection all year round.

Key Features

• Made from durable GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)

• Textured anti-slip surface with industrial-grade grit

• UV and weather resistant – perfect for the British climate

• Quick and easy to install with screws or adhesive

• Low-maintenance, long-lasting solution

• Available in multiple colours and sizes to suit any deck

✅ Why You’ll Love These Decking Grip Strips

1. Instantly Safer Decking

Each strip features a rough, high-traction surface that dramatically reduces slips and falls — even when the decking is wet, frosty, or oily.

2. Built for UK Weather

From constant rain to freezing mornings, decking grip solutions made from GRP don’t rust, rot, or fade. They’re made to last for years.

3. Easy Installation

Simply fix these decking grip strips over existing timber or composite boards using screws or adhesive. It takes minutes, and no special tools are required.

4. Great for Skate Decks Too

Just like skate decks with grip tape, these GRP strips use a coarse, non-slip grit surface — offering similar traction but with industrial strength for outdoor areas.

5. Low Maintenance

A quick clean with soap and water keeps them looking good as new. No sanding, no staining, no hassle.

Perfect For

• Garden decking and patios

• Public walkways and access ramps

• Docks, piers, and bridges

• Commercial or school grounds

• Skate decks or practice ramps

• Anywhere slippery surfaces are a risk

How to Install Decking Grip Strips

1. Clean the decking boards and let them dry.

2. Position the grip strips along walking paths or step edges.

3. Mark and drill fixing points (use stainless steel screws).

4. Apply adhesive underneath (optional for extra hold).

5. Screw down securely and enjoy a safer deck immediately!

💡 Pro Tip: Space strips evenly across the width of the board for both safety and a neat finish.

Case Study: Garden Decking in Liverpool

A homeowner in Liverpool was tired of slipping on wet decking every winter. After fitting decking with grip strips, their stairs and patio stayed safe all year — even when covered in frost. The installation took less than an hour and completely transformed the look and feel of their outdoor space.

Now they’ve started adding the same decking grip solution to the ramp leading to their shed for extra safety.
