Roof felt on ramp?

[alan0259]

Just had a shed built and due to it being higher than ground level I've had to have a ramp built.

The ramp has timber supports and 18mm exterior plywood for the top.

The more this gets walked on it chips away bit by bit and it the wet it will be pretty slippy to get my motorbike in and out.

I have some left over felt from my shed roof and was thinking of glueing or tacking this to it, do you think this will last with foot traffic?

Any other ideas anyone can think of?

Torch on felt will probably last a while and will be watertight. Or a bit of light aluminum checkered plate from the hardware shop?

rubber sheet flooring?

the chequerplate sounds good but could be slippy when wet.

Johns idea is better, are you ever in Birmingham? I have loads of epdm rubber offcuts you can have. Perfect for ramps

The best stuff is a ramp made out of expanded metal mesh, even when everything is soaking wet and oily it's still very grippy.

I would just stick the felt on for now as you have it spare, as already said it will last a while
