Yes, not as slippery as the HDPE though. Definitely slipperier than the dirt or a piece of wood unless it's wood with a bunch of algae growing on it. I would turn the house siding upside down as some have textured "outside". Whatever you do do not get it wet and step on it. You might end up on the ground.
