Does anyone know the best way to make this ramp nonslip? We get a fair amount of ice and snow and there are a couple elderly folks using the ramp.

We tried a basic nonslip rubber mat, but the grooves just hold ice and snow so don't really help.

Our current ideas are maybe adding rubber stair treads every board or two, or maybe tacking little strips of wood to every board.

Would adding "studs" be possible?

Screw a shit ton of short weatherproof decking screws into the wood but leave them slightly raised instead of countersunk.

Might make it pretty difficult to shovel snow off though.
