“Get a Grips - They are the perfect solution for our beach access and trail stair cases.”
Perry Schmitt - Parks Supervisor with the City of Sechelt, BC
“Saanich Parks has installed the metal grip strips on a half dozen bridges and boardwalks in our parks. We have heard compliments from trail walkers that it has solved the problem of slippery footing in wet or frosty conditions, and our crews have had no maintenance issues with them to date.
We installed the grip strips on a boardwalk used by equestrians last year, and have not had any negative feedback on them. Overall, we are pleased with the low cost, low maintenance solution to slippery wood decks that these strips provide.”
Andrew Giles - Manager - Parks Construction and Maintenance
