SeramaSilly Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I have a walk-in-run which is situated on concrete but I find that every time it rains the wet pools under the gap between the barge-boards and the concrete which saturates the aubiose. I've tried putting thick plastic underneath and attaching to the barge-boards but that hasn't worked. A friend of mine who is an architect came up with the idea of making a base with 2 x 1 battens of treated wood to raise the run up off the concrete and put in a plywood floor. Your thoughts on this are very welcome?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wouldn’t that be a blood mite idea of heaven? I have absolutely no experience with an set up like that, but wood wouldn’t be my first choice I think. Would closing the gap with one of those expanding foams be an option?

SeramaSilly Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I've tried the expanding foam and it didn't work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I had a gap that made puddles when it rained but have since covered my base with some hard wood wood-chips. Works a treat - no more soggy feathery feet for my pekins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks Luvachicken but I didn't really want to use wood-chips - I only have access to my garden through my house so everything has to be walked through and aubiose is much lighter.
