Are decking boards slippery in wet weather?

The main factor in preventing your decking boards from becoming slippery is to make sure that the surface of the boards are kept clean. You must make sure that you regularly remove any mildew, algae and mosses from the surface of the boards as otherwise they are likely to cause your decking to become very slippery.

As mentioned in my previous post about ‘looking after your garden decking’, you should make sure that you regularly clean your decking with a firm broom. You should also consider pressure washing the timber yearly to make sure that it is thoroughly cleaned. Use a timber decking treatment to help prevent algae and mosses from growing on your deck boards.
