How to Make Non-Slip Outdoor Stairs

Outdoor stairs are often exposed to rain, dew, or moss, making them prone to becoming slippery and dangerous for users. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the design and material of outdoor stairs are made with safety in mind, especially the risk of slipping.

Here are some effective ways to keep outdoor stairs safe and non-slip:

1. Use Anti-Slip Material
Choose a material that has a rough texture or is specially designed to be non-slip, such as:

Checkered plate or flower plate, which has a serrated surface

Outdoor ceramics with a rough texture

Natural stone such as andesite or brushed coral that has a rough surface

2. Add Anti-Slip Tape or Rubber Strips

For metal or plain ceramic steps, you can add:

Non-slip rubber strips

Special ladder tape

Epoxy paint with added silica sand to add a rough texture

3. Ensure Ideal Slope and Size
The stair design should have an ideal slope (around 30–35 degrees) with a maximum step height of 18 cm. Steps that are too high or too steep can increase the risk of slipping.

4. Install Railings or Handrails
In addition to helping balance, railings are important as a grip when the surface of the stairs is wet or slippery. Use galvanized hollow iron or stainless steel to withstand outdoor weather.

5. Clean Regularly
Moss and dirt can increase the level of slipperiness. Clean the stairs regularly, especially during the rainy season.

Build Safe and Durable Outdoor Stairs
Use the right materials such as anti-slip checkered plates or hollow iron for outdoor stairs.
