(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best staircase parts

I edited my other comment but they are actually corner guards for stairs which is why I chose them since one part of it is round which the record rests on and helps it stay there rather than being a straight L. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CSIJ5I/ref=asc_df_B000CSIJ5I4790149/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395009&creativeASIN=B000CSIJ5I&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167152358566&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13253972481369317411&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032140&hvtargid=pla-274497126161

I'm always surprised that more people that trailer do not have a better solution to the wet feet problem. Years ago I installed traction tape on my bumper and top side of my trailer. 3M traction tape has worked great on the topside of my bumper for years, and these shower treads work great on the trailer, and even glow in the dark for night loading. I just step from dock to bumper to trailer tongue, and winch the last foot or two. I'm about as clumsy as they come, but have never had an issue with this arrangement.

I've got some lick-and-stick asphalt stair treads in my basement that I really enjoy. Not suitable for bare feet, though.

I bought this a little while back for my dog. It sticks surprisingly well.

Whoa, I completely forgot to do this!

Gotta find a similar handle locally, since I'm not in Canada.
Would this work?

Is this the mounting tape that you used?

Would this work for the vinyl stair tread on top?

Most manufacturers have color matched accessories which usually include stair nosing. Having said that... they are usually obscenely expensive.

If it were me, I would buy some raw oak stair nose, then experiment with stains until I found a good match. Some paint stores will custom match stains if you bring in a sample plus some unstained wood to match it on.

Since you're not looking to strap down heavy loads, and you probably don't want to start popping rivet or screw holes in your car, or hot weld things, (what the hell, in a car trunk,) JB Weld has a large line of adhesives, one of which will do you just fine. If you have extreme temperatures where you live, they have ones meant to perform in extreme hot or cold conditions.

You'll be able to liquid weld whatever type of anchor point you want to the inside of the trunk. Another method, (if you're just trying to keep a gear box/bin from sliding around,) is to put anti-slip tape on the bottom of the bin.

I use an 8 gal. Rubbermaid ActionPacker, (which holds a shit-ton of gear, probably 30 lbs.,) in the back of my Honda Pilot. I have one strip of that tape on the bottom of it, and it doesn't move an inch. And the more weight you have in it, the better it will work. I have a load blanket spread out to protect my carpet, anyway, and it sits on that just fine.

I really think this is all you need

Some clear ones might not be so bad https://www.amazon.com/Stair-Safety-Slip-Tapes-steps/dp/B018KO9O4U

Something like this?

Adding these to my stairs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LJMPYM6/

Also, a fresh coat of paint does wonders.

I used this product to mount to the floor.

It should help. If you still have problems, try this.

I bought some of this and installed it on the running boards. Worked wonders for years now.

3M Safety-Walk Outdoor Tread, Black, 1-Inch by 180-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006HVKLK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_BkREyb4W9KD5F

We have hardwood on the stairs, but put up washable stair runners. Not these exact ones, but very similar: https://www.amazon.com/Seloom-Non-Slip-Resistant-Specialized-Removable/dp/B07DR9KV9M/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=stair+carpet+treads&qid=1565803470&s=gateway&sr=8-5

Get some of those no-slip stair tread mat thingies. Something like this, only less ugly.

The cheapest option for our doggy ramp was some grip tape from Amazon. I can dig up the link if you’d like. We have an IVDD surgery doggie, so we’re trying to avoid it again!

eta: this is what we used; EdenProducts Heavy Duty Anti Slip... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077KGCBJL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

You don't own it, and there is nothing that appears to be rotting - so rotting isn't a concern.

A good way to conceal the ugliness would be to scrape off the loose paint, then glue on some outdoor/marine carpet. Landlord would probably not approve though, because removing it would be a destructive mess.

I'd just buy an appropriate sized rectangle of outdoor or marine carpet for the deck surface, then minimally secure the corners with some 3/4" staples (something easy to remove). Probably available much more cheaply at a big box store or carpet store. Then let the steps ride, or ask if you can paint them. If they were my steps, they look like a good candidate for edge protectors. As they are not yours though, I would not spend a dime on that.

my dog seems scared of our stairs inside but has no problem on our walks at the park going 30+ stairs on an overpass.

we're going to try something like this

As far as modifications go, I replaced a broken peg on one of my bases by drilling out the stump and fitting a matching-size stainless steel rod into the opening, then epoxying it. BUT that was for an opaque base so I could hide the crimes, while yours will show everything.

I'll add that the rod was my second choice, I had already tried fitting the broken pieces of the peg together, gluing, and reinforcing it, but it wasn't strong enough post-break.
