One used to be able to buy large drip pans which were then filled with about
1/2 inch of sand or kitty litter. They were about 4 feet long and maybe 2.5
feet wide with a 3/4 inch lip all the way around. Haven't seen one in years.
Anybody know where they are to be found? Currently I am using a 6' x 8' hunk
of cheap indoor-outdoor carpet. Nice to lay on too!
Cheers!!
