LifeGrip Anti Slip Traction Treads with Glow in Dark Stripe (10-Pack), 6“ X 28”, Best Grip Tape Grit Non Slip, Outdoor Non Skid Tape, High Traction Friction Abrasive Adhesive for Stairs Step

I have lots of decking steps in back garden which can be difficult to judge. These strips are excellent for sight and grip. Just ordered more.

In my ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of my senior dog, I recently purchased the LifeGrip Anti-Slip Traction Treads with Glow in Dark Stripe. These treads were intended to provide added security on my back deck, which had become potentially hazardous due to freshly painted wooden steps that were slippery compared to the concrete ones my dog was accustomed to. After some time using them, I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts. Pros: Improved safety for pets: The primary reason for investing in these traction treads was to enhance the safety of my senior dog. Initially, he was a bit hesitant about the new texture underfoot, but as he got accustomed to it, I noticed a significant improvement in his confidence while going down the stairs. The treads effectively prevented him from slipping and provided the secure footing he needed. Relatively easy installation: Installing these traction treads was a straightforward process. They adhered well to the wooden steps and didn't require any complex tools or materials. This user-friendly installation was a definite advantage for someone like me who is not particularly handy. Cons: Glow in the dark feature may not be reliable: One aspect that didn't quite meet my expectations was the glow in the dark feature of these treads. Despite the promise of glowing stripes, I haven't noticed any significant illumination during nighttime. Fortunately, I have a security light that automatically comes on, which compensates for the lack of glow. However, if you rely solely on the glow feature for visibility, it might not be as effective as expected. Susceptible to wrinkling and pulling up in the rain: Another drawback I encountered was the performance of these treads in wet conditions. During rainy weather, the treads tended to wrinkle and could start to pull up from the steps. This required periodic adjustments and could potentially pose a slipping hazard if not addressed promptly. In conclusion, the LifeGrip Anti-Slip Traction Treads with Glow in Dark Stripe effectively served their primary purpose of enhancing the safety of my senior dog on the back deck. Their relatively easy installation was a plus, making them accessible to users with varying levels of DIY experience. However, the glow in the dark feature didn't live up to expectations, and it's advisable to have additional lighting in place. Additionally, be cautious in rainy conditions, as these treads may require maintenance to prevent wrinkling and pulling up. Overall, they provide valuable anti-slip protection but may have some limitations in specific scenarios.

Work Very well, adhesive is great and look Great

This review is for LifeGrip Anti Slip Traction Treads with Glow in Dark Stripe (10-Pack), 6" X 28", Best Grip Tape Grit Non Slip, Outdoor Non Skid Tape, High Traction Friction Abrasive Adhesive for Stairs Step. We bought these at the end of May 2022 and installed them in June 2022 when the temperature was around 80°F (27°C). We should have checked the box closer because ours did NOT come with the rollers so we had to improvise. The installation instructions, however, were very clear on the box and so they were relatively easy to install on our backyard wooden door steps and inside the garage. We did exactly what they instructed: Clean steps thoroughly and let dry before applying, etc. The box advised us not to install over gaps in the steps but we had no choice because we bought a size larger than recommended (we should have boughten 4" vs. 6"), so it was our mistake so no stars were taken off there. The adhesives on these are fantastic and they stick very well especially in high heat. All was good and we loved these treads all summer…and fall…until winter arrived. By February 2023, some of these treads that were outdoors had started to peel off and even blew away in the storm. Some are barely hanging on and just flapping around in the storm. However, the ones in the garage are still in excellent shape. So, while great indoors, outdoors these only lasted about 8 months for us. We will salvage what we have left and buy 3M Hi-Strength 90 adhesive spray to rectify the situation and see how that works out. They do get quite hot in the summer heat but the traction we get is worth it. They help our senior dog to not slip also which is wonderful! Overall, while these are great for indoors and work exactly as described, outdoors is a whole different story. They just didn’t last in our Chicagoland weather with clear four seasons. Therefore, I’d give them a 3.7/5.0 - 05/01/2023.

Me hacian falta. Buen producto.

>This is the second time for ordering. The first was in Nov 2023 and the only reason they were removed was to refinish the deck this year. The treads go down easily, and stay in place, through heat, rain and snow. The traction is great for people and animals. The glow in the dark strip is an added bonus, while not being obnoxious. The two photos show the steps on the deck and where we have indicated a "step down" from one section of the deck to another.
