Which decking material is the least slippery: composite, PVC, or wood? In this quick test, were comparing composite decking, PVC decking, and wood decking to see which surface has the most traction and performs best when wet.

Slippery decks are a major safety concern, especially in rain, snow, or around pools. In this short, we test real deck boards to compare slip resistance, texture, and grip across the most popular decking materials used in modern deck construction.

What this test compares:
• Composite decking vs PVC decking slip resistance
• Wood decking vs composite when wet
• Deck board traction in real conditions
• Which decking is safest for outdoor use

Questions this video answers:
• Which decking is the least slippery?
• Is composite decking slippery when wet?
• Is PVC decking more slippery than wood?
• What is the safest decking material for rain or snow?
