Mid-Missouri | Does anyone know where to get a 10x10 foot rubber mat to lay down over a grain leg pit. We would use it to keep water and trash out, mainly over winter. Ideally would be a 12x12 mat. Thanks. |

| Local elevator made covers for the pits by bolting strips of used belting from a gravel coveyor together. The belting is probably at least 1/2" thick. If you have any gravel pits around you might check with them if they got an old belt laying around that they want to get rid of. |

Bourbon, Indiana | This doesn't answer your question but thought I'd mention anyway. My experience with a rubber mat was never good unless it was very heavy (mine wasn't) I got tired off moving cement blocks on and off the rubber mat all the time in the fall so I went and had local fab shop build me a 5X5 cover with a raise in the middle to shed water and bolted a seal around the bottom edge to keep water from blowing in underneath, you can see in the pic that I cemented a 3" pipe in the ground then took an old packer wheel shaft that was laying around and welded a cable winch too it so I could lift it up and move it over with ease.
Allthough yours is probably a much bigger pit than mine the same concept still applies.
so far no water in there
good luck
Brad

South-central Nebraska | Ours came with a cover but it looks like the ones many vet supply catalogs have for animals to lay or stand on. |

Thats kinda what we have, but ours is in3 5'x14' pieces. They are nice cause you can drive over them and they seal really well. But they are also really heavy to move, Its all one guy want to slide one off. |
