billytheghillie Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have the ideal stuff in my yard. Its plastic track mat. The stuff that is put down as temporary tracks at events. Its light weight, totally slip resistant, and is in 8 x 4 sheets. They are expensive to buy, I have several, they are pre used and have the odd crack, but this wouldn't affect your job. If you come and get it you can have one. webber that sir, is a very kind offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 the stuff i used to have in the back of the landrover came from a carpet warehouse (commecial) it was the old outside type of door matting made from pressed out lozenges of car tyre or conveyor belt then riveted together....

Paul223 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Don't bother with stock board! It's hard wearing yes but we used to use small bits as slippers for sliding doors, and as lying down boards for sliding under wagons, the theme being it slips and slides easy! Carpet would be the quickest cheapest solution, that's what you'll see on a lot of horsebox ramps (along with rubber) it'd need to be glued in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 We used to use a woven back (rather than rubber foam backed) heavy duty jumbo cord, lay the cord across any incline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Try and get your hands on some fibre glassing resin, mix it fairly weak then while its wet throw some sand over it. this is how I do my boat floor every five years. Works like a charm that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennett Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Rubber stable mat, tacky when it's wet and has built in drainage channels on one side and a dimpled surface on the other, and is massively hard wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
