Astro turf type stuff

by Talley Ho @, Playa la Ropa, Wednesday, December 07, 2016, 13:34 (3630 days ago)

We have a small area, about 3 by 4 meters, that we'd like to cover with something along the lines of astro turf or something like that. It's where we rinse the dogs and our boards daily, and it gets muddy. We can make do with a couple of pieces if we can't get a solid piece, and are very open to other suggestions.

Any ideas as to where we can get some, or ideas on something else that would keep the mud down? Sand isn't really an option. Thanks!!!

The problem with the turf is that it will also build up with sand and mud.A raised platform made of wooden slats allows for the debris to rinse down,and will dry off with the sun.Good Luck!

Thanks, but building up with wood, or anything like that will cause too much of a trip factor, and it's not a totally level area. We are basically looking for something to throw on the ground so we don't track mud. Worst case scenario, cheap fabric that we'll replace monthly, but we'd like something that looks half way decent, too.

Maybe the mini golf in Ixtapa can give you some advice

what about those plastic tiles that sit at cooking stations and dishwasher stations in restaurants. They are slotted so they drain and snap together to make a larger area. They also have those with wooden slats that people use for decking on condo balconies. The wood ones are about 1 inch thick the plastic about 0.5 inches. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=decking+tiles&sprefix=decking%2Caps%2C673&crid=2M6Y6T...
