The non-slip method used here and there on my old boat comrises a couple of
1" wide teak strips screwed in place side by side ... might look ok on yer
steps.

On our trailer we will have wooden steps on either side
of the fender. The front step is mostly for "looks" and to
balance out the rear step. But the rear step will be used.

The steps are wood. We could use steel diamond-plate
and may change to that in the future but for now we want
to try wood.

I could paint the steps but I think a natural wood will
look better. So I'm thinking of using varnish or
poly-urethane.

I see non-skid products that can be mixed in. Do these
work OK? Other sugestions on what to use or do here?

Thanks,
Gary
