Choosing between grooved or smooth decking boards

Before purchasing garden decking you need to decide whether you want to get smooth or grooved garden decking boards. The main difference between these two types of decking board is that grooved decking boards are said to be less slippery than the plain smooth timber boards, especially when wet. Although it is not essential to have grooved decking boards for the main decking area, it is recommended that grooved boards are used for decking steps, making them less slippery and therefore less dangerous.

If you want to try something different to the normal 'timber' decking boards, there is a decking product currently on the market called Deck Grip which is made from fibre glass and is slip resistant.
