I've got a metal manhole cover on my front path, and it is slippery when

I've looked at the antislip tape from toolstation at £4 - but does it

on such a surface or is there a better way of making it antislip?

Whether a tape will stick will depend a lot on the quality of the surface
it is going to be stuck to. I would expect that a conformable tape would
work best on something like a manhole cover.

Did wonder whether to paint it with gloss paint and sprinkle sand on the
wet
paint!

Probably better than nothing, but there are plenty of purpose made
non-slip paints available.



I looked at the non-slip paint, but it is about £28 for enough to cover some
200 sq m. I only want a cover 2' by 1' protected!
