Hello
We will be moving to a rented small holding shortly.
The stables have been put down onto the grass. We are looking for solutions for flooring underneath rubber matting inside to prevent sinking. Thank you in advance

I have used both rubber and EVA mats directly on earth
As long as the ground has been firm to start with they've been fine

if it’s level and firm i’d put them into grass. I have planings under mine but that’s because the floor is lower than the outside at the back and water was coming under.

Of they were installed with earth floors originally, is there a possibility they'll be fine left as earth? I have stabled twice on all draining earth floors and they were brilliant, much less wet bed to take out.
