Anti Slip Softwood Decking – A Proven Choice for High Footfall Areas

When it comes to softwood decking, it remains one of the most popular choices across the UK and for good reason. Anti Slip Softwood Decking combines durability, safety and practicality, making it a trusted solution for high footfall areas and demanding outdoor environments.

Popular board size

The most commonly specified profile we find is Ex 32 x Ex 125mm with a finished size: approx. 28mm x 120mm

This well-balanced section offers excellent strength and stability, making it suitable for both commercial projects and busy domestic settings.

Pressure treated for longer life

Anti Slip Softwood Decking is Tanalised® (pressure treated) to protect against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. This treatment significantly extends the lifespan of the boards, even when exposed to the elements and regular use. For more information on the treatment

It’s a dependable option for:

  • Commercial walkways and access routes

  • Public spaces and leisure areas

  • Schools, parks and hospitality settings

  • Garden decking with year-round foot traffic

Each board features a 2 aggregate anti-slip insert, designed to improve grip underfoot and reduce the risk of slipping in wet or high-use conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for safety-critical and public-facing environments.

Aggregate options for other decking species

The anti-slip aggregate is also available to purchase separately, allowing it to be installed into:

  • Yellow Balau Hardwood Decking

  • European Oak Decking

This provides flexibility where a hardwood finish is preferred, without compromising on safety.

Practical installation and supply options

Anti Slip Softwood Decking can be:

  • Can be cut on site using the correct saw blades

  • Supplied in set lengths, cut to size, helping to reduce waste and streamline installation

As with all treated timber, cut ends should be sealed with an appropriate end-grain preservative to maintain protection.
