My two year old would have it done in less than 5 minutes. Although, last weekend I put a bath towel in with her after a run in the rain. She didn't destroy it. Just pushed it up against the gate.

I plan on buying one of those nice office mats that are intended to stand on for long periods of time and cutting it to size. They're black and mold to your feet (body in this case

Just a note that, it was suggested to me to purchase a horse mat and cut it to size. That's what I did, and it's worked perfectly.

She was giving it some hell last night as she cried. I will definitely have to keep an eye on that. Thanks for pointing it out. :geek:

It's a heavy duty rubber mat used in horse stalls.

I got mine at a local feed and supply store. It was ~$40 but it was big enough for both crates.

Here's one buying option... https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/9 ... fgodm08DZQ

I like the looks of that. Did you cut it with a carpet cutter?

Yes that's basically the same as the office floor mats when you are to stand for a long time. Cool concept, probably the best

Yes they can be cut with a carpet cutter also known as a box knife.. in fact, if you read the Q&A on the product that question is answered.
