Yesterday I was out and had to sit on the step when I returned to remove my muddy boots.This got me thinking about a mat to clean the bulk of the mud off and I began looking around to see what was available to make one.I found a offcut of 1/2" plywood which I squared up ending up with a board approx 18"x12".
In the shed corner I had a couple of old mountain bike tyres,I cut these to form a single strip which I stapled to the board starting with the first strips tyre wall fastened to the boards edge.Then I cut further strips to size and attached them overlapping the tyre walls to form water run off channels. Two last lengths width ways across the base to stop it sliding in use. Simple and done in 1/2 hour.
