Recycled car tire rubber for climbing material
We been using recycled car tire rubber 1/4 inch thick mat since March
2015. It works very well for climbing and it doesn't shed onto the floor. It was cut in strips and hot melt glued to 1x4s with about 1/2 inch hanging over each side. They have some trouble climbing down, like cats do on most any material, but it can probably be made easier. I will plan to buy enough so that it can be wrapped around the sides of the board. Then either stapled or glued onto the back. That will probably give them a lot more to sink their claws into than just trying to grab onto the edge of the mat while descending. I might have enough recycled car tire rubber mat left to experiment with that idea. Might be nice to purchase a tube of such material that would snugly slide onto a 1 x 4 or 2 x 4. No work required except cutting it to length. But oh well. |
