TACO Marine P14-Series Anti-Skid Marine Lumber, 12 x 27 in, HDPE, UV-Stabilized, Diamond Pattern

Overview

The TACO Marine King Starboard Anti-Skid Marine Starboard is a white polymer lumber sheet for walk-on areas where wet footing, saltwater, and sun exposure are part of normal boat use. It is made from high density, UV-stabilized polyethylene and uses a diamond-pattern surface that adds traction while helping water drain away when the sheet is wet.

This P14-Series anti-skid marine lumber is offered in a 12" x 27" size with 1/2" and 3/4" thickness options. It suits high-traffic areas such as boarding steps, swim platforms, hatch covers, ladder steps, shower floors, stairways, entry areas, and deck sections where a high-friction surface matters.

Key features

• High density, UV-stabilized polyethylene construction for marine exposure in sun, spray, and saltwater.
• Diamond-pattern surface adds grip underfoot and helps water drain from the contact area when wet.
• Passes ASTM D2047 slip-resistant testing for added confidence in walk-on locations.
• Resists most stains and keeps its color without refinishing.
• Does not rot or delaminate, which makes it useful in damp cockpit, deck, and boarding areas.
• Chemical-resistant surface cleans with marine-grade soaps or cleansers and fresh water.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Variants

This anti-skid marine lumber is offered in two white configurations for the same general walk-on use.

The length, width, color, and diamond pattern remain the same across the variants. The thickness changes, giving the installer a choice between a lower-profile 1/2" sheet and a heavier 3/4" sheet for areas where additional material thickness is preferred.

• P14-5012WHA27-1C: 12" x 27" x 1/2". This version keeps the 12" x 27" footprint with a thinner profile for applications where height buildup should be kept lower.
• P14-7512WHA27-1C: 12" x 27" x 3/4". This version uses the same footprint with added thickness for installations where a more substantial sheet is desired.

Use on board

This material is a practical match for owners, refit yards, and boat builders working on areas where people step, board, climb, or move around with wet shoes. The white finish works well in visible deck and cockpit spaces, while the anti-skid surface helps make small landing areas, steps, and access points feel more secure underfoot.

Care and maintenance

Routine care is straightforward. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and clean with marine-grade soap or cleanser as needed. The polymer surface does not require varnish, paint, or refinishing, which helps reduce upkeep compared with traditional wood in wet marine locations.
