Perfect for outdoor treated wood steps
I used this tread tape for my deck steps. I started putting two strips on each step, but I think it works better with only one, just at the edge of each step. That way, if you’re in socks or bare feet, you don’t have to step on the edge and feel the rough surface. When it’s wet, these definitely give you a sense of security. And if you back the tread just a tiny bit off the edge, you can quickly slide down the steps by rolling your foot forward as you descend.
I have these on the steps up to the deck, as well as the steps that go up to the second floor. Those are the most important, as it’s a steep, long flight of stairs, very high off the ground. I plan to buy another roll, to finish the few steps I missed. I have had no problems with adhesion through rain, sun, and cold.
Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Doesn’t stay stuck outside on wood
We use this tape on our cedar deck stairs. It seemed kind of expensive for what is basically a few feet of sand paper, but seemed like a simple project to keep the stairs while safely wet winters Pacific NW. It was very easy to install - just cut peel and stick. We made sure it had to be done after the deck dry for a week. Initially worked great to replace, but started after about a month ahead of the busy strip. She slid around a bit at first, but then began to come off completely. The strips themselves came off in solid pieces, which are in good enough condition to try to reinstall with better adhesive. She leaves no residue behind on the wood, which may be why they do not work well.

Worked for me
I used this on outdoor steps made out of terra cotta tiles (my steps would get really slippery in the rain). It takes a little time to follow the directions to prep (clean) the area, then to cut your strips to size, and then cut the corners off so they are rounded. This was especially time consuming in my case because I didn’t think the strips would adhere to the grout, so I cut them in 12″ sections corresponding with the tile length. But if you follow the instructions, they work great, and now I don’t worry about everyone slipping on my steps.
