I have taken the old carpet off my trolley cradle. Anyone got a better suggestion than astroturf type matting to protect the foam padding and keep the trolley from holding water against the paint? |

| The sort of rubber matting that has long "fingers" is supposed to be good. |

| I think Jim means like astro style door matting. You should be able to pick this up from DIY stores |

yes, you can get branded astroturf doormats for around £4.99, or £5.99 if you go for green ( ), or the imititation ones for about £3.99. I have mostly found them in 'pound' shops and garden centres, though the latter are way more expensive. I am about to make up two cradles, once the weather stops freezing...

Sovereign trailer do a spiky cradle, you can just make it out in the pic below. I think the bristles will be longer than astroturf.
