Thougthts on Vinyl floors

[mimischicksnat]

I'd say it's as easy as it can be. I clean my coop out twice a year. I use an old coal shovel, and scoop out everything into a cart. If I'm feeling extra energetic, I'll sweep it out with a broom. That's it, I don't mess around with mopping it. I could if I wanted, but I don't, no need.

Thanks! I was worried that maybe when I shoveled it I would tear it.

You are not going to tear it. You would have to take the shovel and purposely gouge it into the floor to hurt it. It's VERY tough.

Awesome! So much cheaper than vinyl flooring...

So glad I read this! My husband is building a 6'x8' coop for me now and the cost of a vinyl remnant is outrageous. Average price is $75!

My floor are planks with a layer of tin for rodent proofing. On top of the tin I have a piece of vinyl flooring (rough textured) cut one foot longer than the length and width of my coop (roughly). Six inches squares are cut out of the 4 corners of the vinyl flooring. This allows the friction fitted flooring to travel up the walls six inches around the perimeter of my 4x8 salvaged metal coop. Shovel out the heavy stuff into a wheel barrow. Pop out the vinyl flooring hose it off pop it back in (Recently cut the flooring into 3 mats easier to handle).
Easy Peasy!

That doesn't seem right. I picked up a piece that size for less than $30.

I agree! That's why I left it in the store. The smallest size was 7'x12'....that may be the reason. I've tried to check resale stores. Think I'll go with the roofing coat.
