In our kennels we have crushed rock down about 3-4 inches thick, covered by
the 1" thick Red Barn stall mats, thick , cushy, about 100lbs apiece, and you
can cut the 4 x 6 mat to fit if need be. They clean well and are very kind
on the dogs orthopedically. Over the top of the mats we put just small bit
of pine shavings to stop the "splash factor" for the dogs, esp the males.
lol.
There is no mud, no problem disinfecting, they drain beautifully as they are
on a bit of a grade from back to front. The dogs sprawl out on the mats,
and are very happy with them. The only drawback is that the mats are awkward
to carry, and that dogs' nails will need cutting more often because the mats
do not wear them down at all.
Great investment.
