cheap surface for wet field shelter

[woodlandswow]

due to the wind and our poor field shelter skills our blew away in the wind, making our only decision to put the shelter in a wind sheltered area = which gets quite boggy when very wet. this will lead to problems further along the line when the rain comes! does anyone else get this and have any solutions!
thanks

In the past I have used gravel then grid mats (Those that go in gateways) sand on top and then paving stones upside down so the rough side up so that the horses do not slip. You can then put any type of bedding you want. Another thing is scalpins

The paving stones can easily found off something like Freecycle or such.

A good layer of Road Planings is another option. Fairly cheap in most areas.

wood chippings, lots of very cheap if you go to a wood yard.
