We are designing a fenced enclosure outside our house for our cats (an enlarged catio). The enclosure will include our deck, which is raised 3-4 feet above grade. We want to let the cats go under the deck for play and rest out of the sun but don’t know what is the best material to use for the bare dirt under the deck. We have considered sheet rubber or vinyl products on the bare dirt but doubt that it will last very long. Any recommendations for surfaces? We decided against fake grass products as they can easily hide spiders, ticks, and fleas (and would be difficult to clean if a cat throws up on them. Thank you.
