Our side return is tiered with crumbly concrete. There are various drains in the corners and one manhole in the centre of the bottom tier.
We want to gate off the stairs that lead up from the end of the side return and put a new floor surface down so it's a bit more suitable for us to just open the door and get kiddo outside.
What are our flooring options?
I'd almost like some kind of rubbery playground surface but don't know how that works with steps. I don't really want anything that can be lifted up either, like tiled rubber. The big step between the two main tiers is the problem as the corners have gone and it's crumbled to shit.
Pouring 'nicer' concrete over is one thing but have no experience of doing steps. Also don't know how I'd need to prepare the current floor (other than sweep away loose bits and clean it as much as poss). Also drains etc. There are a couple of air bricks to avoid too, so don't want to raise the floor too high and don't want to risk going above any membrane that may or may not exist in the walls.
Paving : / meh. Maybe.
Any others?
