I now have some metal plates that go in the grooves of decking but if I can help I'll stay well off it and when I'm wfp setup I'll use that!

Post by: Chris - CBWC on February 02, 2014, 06:00:50 pm: I told my customers with decking that I can only come round after it has dried out as it's just too slippery, or I can miss those windows out on that occasion, give them the choice and they seem to be ok either way. I've just changed to wfp so I'm pleased I no longer have that problem.

Cant do anything about it once you've tripped but you cash be sure not to do it again and make a few quid in the process by pressure washing it for them...

Post by: Fin Clearview on February 04, 2014, 08:46:49 pm: Used to poop a brick sometimes putting ladder on greened up decking. Used to lob a scrim under the feet and pray. I think I even advised a few custies to have it cleaned so they don't slip. Love it now I'm on the wfp, not having to worry.
