Machine Mart sell rubber matting - get the thicker grade if you go this route, it's still thin enough to curve over wheel boxes....listed on their website.....or stable matting if you want something thicker but it's very heavy stuff

stable matting is great and looks OEM. Easy to cut with a new stanley knife blade too. don't use an old one, it'll drag. Our local equestrian place sells it for 27 quid a sheet which is more than enough

Stable matting is good stuff, whenever I've cut them for our stables I used a Stanley knife but kept the blade lubricated with water with a bit of detergent added which makes them even easier to cut  Steve.

There are various thicknesses, can vary in "spongeness", some are hard shiney rubber to a neoprene type foam. Some can be quite rigid and thinner, these are used to protect stable walls making them easier to wash down and comes on a roll. There is a huge selection of the things, I used to build stables and as you go round the country different customers wanted different additions to keep their precious steeds molicoddled

Upside down then
 When laid for its true purpose the grooves are to carry moisture to the drain(yeah, like that's practical half the time ) |
