My first ramp was made out of treated wood , screwed some 2x4s on the edges to keep ya from rolling off and a basic hand rail..........all out off wood. We stained it then bought some of that sand paper tape in a roll and stuck that down. Worked very good for 10 yrs then I had a concrete ramp poured.

I'm trying to decide between Cement, Wood or deck type material or Expanded metal. I was thinking snow and rain would fall through the expanded metal so it wouldn't require as much snow shoveling as the others. But would it have good traction when covered with frost, fresh snow or wet from rain? I have a cement ramp and it doesn't seem to have any issues unless the snow builds up and gets packed down before it gets shoveled off. I would think a wood or decking material would be similar to the cement. Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Todd
