Question

Hi, my decking gets a bit slippy so I would like to get this treated.  What would be your prosed solution?

How long has the decking been down?
I would recommend, jet washing first then leave to dry, sand and varnish, as advised in the other comments grip strips are great, also depending on age it may need replacing.

Hi Julie,
To treat a timber decking for moss, I'd tend to use a pressure washer, then once dried out sand the whole deck, then treat it with a high class treatment such as Owatrol.

If it's a softwood deck, those solutions would probably be more expensive than the deck boards, so I would consider a pressure wash, hard brush with some jeyes fluid then paint with an anti slip decking stain such as Cuprinol

Hi Julie thanks for getting in touch. 

We start with applying a moss and algae killer followed with a pressure wash to have everything clean.

 After this the best way to prevent a slip would be to apply a non slip decking oil or non slip decking tape. 

We can help you with this if it is something you need doing : )
