When you say boarded, do you mean "decking" or some sort of sheet material?

Quick and dirty fix if it does not get very heavy wear is any old gloss
paint plus sharp sand.

If you want to look smarter you can get very tough self adhesive strips
with something like sand embedded in some sort of polymer, used to
reduce slip on steps.

A mate of mine used to make "wheelchair ramps" for London taxies, these
also have a very durable anti-slip coating. I can ask him how they did
it if you like.

As someone else said, chicken wire works but it looks as though it
belongs in country parks.

Cover it with wire netting.

I used this of some slippery (when wet) smooth concrete step around a
year ago - it has worked well.

Old cloths that don't mind the splash-back then a stiff broom and
household bleach to remove/kill algae.

Anti Slip Grip Tape. Indoor or outdoor use- 4 metres- 25mm wide

I used some on a wheelchair ramp I made using decking boards. Worked well.

"Someone else" also thinks that in December the chicken wire will
be the quickest solution..

On our boat's deck, the original Trakmark(I think it was) that we put on
when it was built all started deteriorating badly.

We took it all off, sanded and coated the deck with epoxy, putting
anti-slip grit that I bought into it while it was still wet. Then we
painted over it.

That must have been over 12 years ago. You can't kneel on it with bare
knees, but you never slip.

Could be a trip hazard then though.
I know I've tripped in country parks due, probably to bad fitting or not
enough fixings.

I used that and it worked fine. You need to lay it warm (keep it in the
house for a few days before laying) and fix it with strips all round. If
you lay it cold it crinkles up in warm weather. You can use 12mm x 3mm
alloy strip for the edges or door strips like they use for carpets.
