I have a cat outside the house on a trailer. I can not grow grass under the cat and it just dirt, when it rains, the spash of mud on the trailer and hull bottons is too much to stomach.
Any low cost ideas of what works good to put under the trailer.
One person suggested nitpack (crushed stone stuff). Any other ideas?
Thanks

Pour a concrete pad, approx 3 yards of concrete. A little work and approx $200. 3 yrd of concrete is approx 240 sq feet 4 inches thick. If it is next to a garage or next to the house it can be made to look like it belongs

Put it in a storage unit. I sailed mine for three years and got exactly what I paid for it when I sold it. Looked brand new.

Did you include 3 years of storage fee in your asking price?

How much was your storage fee to store a cat?

Just get some concrete garden tiles from craiglist and put them on the lawn. No pouring required.
That's what I'd do.
