Anyone know what to use for a rest bench to give hounds a spot off concrete kennel floors. Aside from making something, any ideas?

cheapest thing i have found to use in my kennels is a piece of rubber mat that would be used in the back of a pickup! i bought one for $20 dollars and was able to put a piece 4 kennels and they seem to spend most of their time on it. and the dogs cant make a mess like they would with a piece of carpet.

we were able to find some used rubber mats like you would stand on at work, about 1 inch thick. so far not even puppies have destroyed them and they love laying on them.

In my kennels I use plastic barrel dog house, I have them with the back against the side of the kennel about 3 feet from the back. I then take about a 4x4 piece of 5/8 plywood and drill some holes around the edges and wire or zip tie to the chain link on the 3 corners touching the kennel and one in between the 2 sides. The far end then sits on top of the dog house, this gives me two things, a place for them to lay in the shade underneath anytime of day or they can lay on top off of the floor.

Horse stall rubber mats. You should be able to find them at Tractor Supply. They are thick heavy rubber, can be hosed off easily and should last for several years.
