Exterior Chicago Porches

[Mario Morales]

Hey everyone! I have an exposed exterior porch, while we shovel and salt. It scares the C'p out of me, I have been thinking of putting treads to avoid slipping. Anyone have experience with this or suggestions.

@Mario Morales we have treads on a few of the porches we manage in Berwyn and Cicero. It isn't a bad idea, but honestly it seems like staying on the salting and shoveling is more important. We haven't noticed any big difference on our small sample size (about 10 porches we manage) between the ones with treads versus the ones without.
