Slippery Decking

[hammerman]

My decking is like an ice rink when wet. Is there anything i can put on it to get the algea off or do i have to get the jet wash out again ?

Many thanks

Try Patio Magic, but make sure you get the one for fence panels and decking.

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

Give the decking a gentle jetwash just to remove the dirt and the worst affected areas. Mix up the patio magic and apply liberally with a soft bristle broom (I used a soft dustpan brush) and allow to soak in and dry naturally.

Did mine about 18mths ago and it's still algae free. Previously the wooden decking was lethal. Walking out the back door onto the decking invited a slide of up to 15' before becoming unceremoniously dumped in a heap on the grass.

It's not very pretty but I've seen a deck with chicken wire stapled to it.....it works.
