Extreme Veteran Posts: 396 Location: Iowa	How does everyone keep thier shavings out of thier rear tack? Mine is collapsible so there is a small gap that shavings keep going under. Any ideas of what to put in the gap?

Expert Posts: 4625 Location: Desert Land	That's why I didn't have one put in my new trailer. My previous trailers had the rear tack and I didn't keep really any tack back there because of that reason. And I didn't want to put anything on the bottom to make it stationary because I hauled a lot with it collapsed.If you don't want to haul with it collapsed, then I'm sure you could probably rig some striping or something on the bottom to keep ithe shavings from blowing in.

Cheap and easy to replace when it gets all nasty. I have a gelding that's pees every trip. Yuck. We have to keep everything off the floor in the tack so it doesn't get gross.

I have seen this done and it worked great. The person used various colors top and bottom of the collapsible partition. I bought the pipe wrap because I'm boring and didn't want the colors :/ but I haven't put it in yet

Is flexible, but heavy rubber approx. 4" wide. Last trailer I had like that, was over 6 years of use with no problems. I even put it on the vertical between the main rear door and the tack wall. It sealed up the rear tack very well.
