Garton-on-the-Wolds Primary School

Garton-on-the-Wolds Primary School, located near Driffield in Yorkshire, recently installed approximately 300 linear metres of anti-slip deck boards to improve access around a portable classroom, including a ramp and adjoining play area.

The project utilised ‘Standard 32mm x 125mm deck boards’ with a two-groove anti-slip profile. These boards offer excellent slip resistance, achieving a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 71 - well above recommended safety levels.

Positioned beneath several large trees, the access area is particularly vulnerable to moss and algae formation. The anti-slip decking chosen is specifically designed for such environments, making it a highly effective solution for ensuring year-round safety.

The boards, manufactured by DeckWright, are also supported by a 15-year warranty covering the embedded anti-slip grit and resin system, offering long-term reliability for the school’s outdoor spaces.
