what would be the best thing to put on a wooden electric wheelchair lamp that gets really slick when it rains?

Question by alfa male: what would be the best thing to put on a wooden electric wheelchair lamp that gets really slick when it rains?
it is a pretty steep ramp, and gets real slick when any moisture gets on it. It is something im doing for free for my 90 year old neighbor so price is a issue
and that is a wheel chair RAMP not lamp lol
Delhoote that is a great idea if it can be mixed and spread like they say i cant imagine why it wouldnt last years. and yea tom all the chain stores could recommend is about 100bucks worth of junk grip tape, and the chicken wire would be like a bobsled track in the winter here in indiana lol. thanks guys
I actually considered that yesterday Karen but was not sure how it would work...thanks

your question is backwards, its sounds like you have a wooden electric wheel chair
Lamp ?
sand is the ONLY thing to put on a WOOD ramp for Electric wheel chairs, and salt when it freezes,
I have tried every thing under the sun and mine still gets slick,

sand paint wont last,

  1. Nice of you to help the neighbor. Below is a link about adding common sand to paint. I don't know how long it will last, but it's inexpensive and easy compared to other alternatives.

  2. I'd ask at a builder's providers, there must be a surface which gives grip without costing a lot of money. Chicken wire is used for grip on wooden walkways in places which often get flooded.

  3. People here on the soggy Pacific coast often use roof shingles to provide a non-skid surface on steps and ramps. They're fairly cheap, easy to install, and last well.
