Default roof rack flooring covering?

I installed marine ply for a floor, but would like to cover the cargo side with something that is durable, provides a slip resistant grip. i am to stupid to know what i am looking for, and my google skills are failing me. I have searched rubber mat, waterproof upholstery, waterproof floor covering, gym covering is close but thick..otherwise....notta...
I am looking for that raised rubber junk like sd offers on theirs. can anyone tell me what I am looking for, in search terms?

anyone have any thoughts on that epoxy junk that people put on their garage floors? durable? slip resistant?

yep, perfect option for cargo, but I get up there a lot (redneck/hillbilly stuff..... nothing like prone practice from the roof..... keeps the summertime bloodsucking insects at distance surprisingly stable even with a mild cross wind.)
thats why I used the marine ply, but a little moisture and its like a slip n slide.....hmm, getting another redneck hillbilly idea

looked into it, but reviews point to adhesive backing failure, if applied in exterior environment. but that could be do to errors of the reviewer, in the installation..(adhesive never got warm) and it would be like $160-180 to get enough for a walk way

stopped at the home depot. only 2 viable options......indoor outdoor carpet = a bit ghetto, but only I will see it. and some carpet runner stuff kind of like

100% vinyl so i assume i can glue down, not sure how it would hold up to our nearest star.

good point. I just really need not fall off. I can just throw a yoga mat down if need be. just thought it might be good for cargo if the whole thing had a bit of grip.

2 things

1) that 3 m tape sucks I used that on my in laws handicap ramp and is nfg we're, you also need to use contact cement for wood surfaces still been like 6 months and they are peeling followed all directions to the letter, only good when dry

2) that carpet runner vynil also sucks when wet, you will turn the roof into a slip n slide

You could use paint then throw sand on it used it on a trailer worked OK cheap
