Extreme Veteran Posts: 512	We are building a run in shed and would like to build it on a gravel pad. What suggestions do you have? What type of gravel would you use? Any suggestions appreciated! Thank you!

We also do the limestone screanings under it, just to keep it from disapearing into the mud under it. The pea gravel is super easy to clean the crap out of with a fork. Easy to keep clean, keeps feet dry and in perfect condition.

Veteran Posts: 164	I'm going to be building one next month. Do you have any plans you're using for yours that you wouldn't mind sharing? I'm totally new to building one! I was thinking about pea gravel with mats on top...what do you think? That way all the urine that seals through the cracks in-between the mats, doesn't just sit under them in the dirt and get muddy.
