I am building my second coop (10 x 12) and I am looking into using the polymax overlapping poultry flooring. I looked at the specs in their website:

It looks to me that with this material I will be able to get the panels out for cleaning and this way I can avoid using hay, wood shavings, straw, or anything else that has to be replaced often.Right now i am using hay on my small coop's floor (8 x 4) and I have accumulated quite a pile of hay since last May. Right now the hay pile is decomposing but very slowly. My girls only come in the coop at night to roost and during the day when they lay, must of the time they stay out in their large run or free ranging when I can supervise them. I am hoping that my new chicks are well trained as these pullets are and get to be in their coop for roosting and laying, so I don't have to clean the floor very often. BTW I am using poop boxes under the roosts with PDZ which I clean every day and plan to do the same with my new coop.
Anybody there using this material???
I read about it in BYC some time ago and cannot find the post anymore.
Any opinions will be very well appreciated since this material is not cheap but i am willing to make the investment if it is as good as it looks.
Thanks in advance
