I have a 16 x 4 x 3/4″ plywood ramp for my wifes wheelchair and want to put non-skid strips on it. How many strips would you recommend for that size ramp, and how much will they cost?
Non-skid strips can be purchased in different sizes and applied in numerous orientations. There are three standard designs including non slip pads (4″ x 12″), non skid strips (4″ x 30″) and non skid stair nosing (1.875″ x 30″). We recommend that non skid strips be spaced 8″ on center. For your particular application you would need (24) non skid treads and (24) non slip pads to give adequate coverage of 42″ of width on the 48″ ramp. On the width, there should be a 3″ space on the left and right sides with the treads/pads in the center of the ramp. On the length, there should be a 2″ space before the first tread; placed 8″ on center, the treads/pads will finish 2″ from the opposite end of the ramp. Cost would be $413.76 for our factory finished products or $341.76 for our factory second products.
