  • Paved aisles

    I did install concrete aisles in my barns and then added inter-locking rubber stall mats on top to prevent slipping. My farrier loves it since it cushions his feet while he shoes all the horses and the horses are calmer since they know the surface isn't slippery - even when wet! And it's much simpler to install the stall mats than pavers!

  • Paved aisles

    so, thanks for helping me to decide not to ever pave a barn aisle. According to the article they are expensive, need concrete under them anyway, will breakdown with standing water or urine ( it IS a barn, right?) difficult to install correctly, fades almost immediately, varies greatly in quality, allows mud or sand to seep between the cracks, hard to keep clean... hmm I think I'll stick with my textured concrete aisle.
