Posted By Steven John Nelson Can anyone recommend a product which would assist with the [proative] management of algae on external wooden (& other) walkways. Many of the wooden structures in our parks etc (eg footbridges) are very slippery this time of year due to algae growth. I guess wood offers potnetial alternative options for treating [say] slippery concrete, as it is capapble of being treated with(& absorbing) chemicals to deter algae growth? Any relevant good practice out there ?

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Steven Wasn't treated timber used for these structures? Copper chrome arsenate (CCA otherwise known as tanalising) as used in garden decking should do the trick. I don't know if it can be applied once the wood is in use. Paul

Posted By John Mackessack I thought tanalising was only to preserve the timber? I have a deck & path at home (very Groundforce!) which is treacherous at this time of year. I have to pressure wash it a few times a year to keep it grippy.

Posted By Andy Beveridge I've used slipgrip from Fibregrid with great success on wooden, metal and concrete areas. Although we leave it screwed in place, it could be lifted during the good weather (whenever that may be!) www.fibregrid.com uk company. Hope this helps.
