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.

Cleats, because if that's slick enough to endanger an older person, then they should probably be wearing them on the sidewalks too.
