Have spent the weekend power washing, cleaning and scrubbing the deck. It was overdue for a big clean. Used special deck reviver and today and putting on the preserver and then a top coat of a special deck paint that has an anti slip grit in it. If this doesn't work I will then try the strips like on the skakeboards. It looks way better already. Note to anybody thinking of decking- a large deck is hard work to maintain. My back is sore from sheer hard work of it but don't want it to rot and don't want it to be dangerously slippy.
Thank you for your advise and hopefully the good weather will keep up

ps. the anti slip paint is seriously smelly skicky stuff
