Should I Put Down Mats On A Goat Barn Floor?

If you have goats, providing a shed, barn, or goat house for them is essential. Goats need shelter to protect them from the elements, from predators, and to help keep them dry and comfortable. When it comes to selecting the best goat barn floor, you definitely have options. 

You could stick with a basic concrete or wood subfloor; you could install speciality flooring, or, you could add a matting system to an old or basic dirt subfloor. When you are ready to start exploring your options, whether to outfit a barn, goat cage, or a single stall, Greatmats offers a number of goat flooring solutions that would help keep your goats safer, healthier, and more comfortable. 

Rubber Flooring Rolls for Goat Barn Floors

Rubber flooring rolls are an excellent goat barn floor option. Often used as matting for barn aisles, they are easy to install without the use of adhesive, and they are durable while also economical. 

If your goat barn subfloor is concrete, this rubber roll would enhance the safety of the surface, as well as the comfort. It has a ruggedness that will take the use and abuse of an active or aggressive goat, and it will not buckle or fold under pressure. It would also provide slip resistance and a slight insulative value. At 4 feet wide and custom lengths, these 8 mm rubber mats give you a great value per square foot.

Button Top Stall Mat Kits for Goat Barns

If you are looking for a great goat barn floor mat that will provide sure footing - when the mat is wet - this button top mat kit is an excellent choice. These 4x6 foot barn mats have an affordable price, at around $3.50 per square foot. 

It’s a great mat for a wash bay or entrance area where mud and water could be tracked in or sprayed.

Once the rubber flooring roll is placed and secured, it requires little maintenance, with a sweeping, vacuuming, or damp mop cleaning process, as needed. They are stain, mold, and mildew resistant.
