I've seen quite a few people use roof shingles nailed down to the ramp with a good amount of success.
Unlike the mats, wood strips, and a few other solutions they aren't difficult to get a wheel chair up and don't catch on peoples shoes. As long as they're flush with the ramp of course.
No clue how expensive that'd be, but it might be a good idea to ask a roofer if they'd be willing to sell some scrap if available.
We did this in the summer for using a picnic table as a diving board so we wouldn't slip, although given the number of times I've fallen off of a roof while shoveling, I'm not sure how well it would stand up to ice and snow
Maybe if salted properly though, thanks for reminding me of a nice childhood memory lol
You can get asphalt roofing rolls. Just cut to size and nail down.
