Egg eaters

I have rollaway boxes that I built myself. Your design looks as if it should work. I am not saying my design is the best, but it does work. The floor is on a 12 degree angle and is covered with cheap thin astro turf. It is not attached so I can remove it and hose it off as needed, I have 2 sets, so I can install clean ones while I am cleaning the soiled ones. Additionally the wall at which the egg will finally come to rest against, I have stapled a 1 1/2" strip of thin rubber matting along the area where the egg comes to rest. the rubber is like you would put in a kitchen draw, or a toolbox. This goes the full length of the wall. The only eggs I have had break is once in awhile, when and egg makes contact with another egg, it will break. This occurs pretty rarely, but it happens. I hope this helps.

Yes, it does help, and your input is greatly appreciated. My wife told me tonight that she has some of that waffled rubber drawer lining, so I may use that in some places. I bought some very low pile carpet pieces to use everywhere the egg rolls after it leaves the laying floor, but may supplement that with the drawer liner in the impact areas.

I know there was some mention of vinyl on the floor. That may work fine, but depending on the pitch/angle of the floor, the vinyl poses little resistance and may cause the egg to roll to fast. But that would be an easy fix. if they roll to fast place carpet on the floor over the vinyl. The waffled draw liner should work fine as padded stop. I was originally going to use that, but we didn't have it, so I use the cheap tool box liner from Harbor Freight

Mine hated the vinyl on the floor of the nesting box but took well to astro turf, you may have to experiment. The love the nesting pads I purchased off amazon but it doesn't roll as well down the ramp!
