I just saw something that would make the perfect traction mats.

At the check out counter at Menards was a 6 foot stack of rubber mats. These things are full of holes about 3/4 in diameter and hundreds of little numbs for traction. They are 36" x 36" and molded into nine 1 foot squares. They are also designed to snap together so you can add extra lengths.

What I would do is buy one and slit it twice so I had three pieces 12" X 36". Now you have two traction mats with one piece left over. If desired the left over piece could be cut in half and attached to the 3 footers to make the 4.5 footers.

These things are fairly soft and flexible and could easily be stored in the propane cabinet on top of the tank.

Cost is $19.95.

I would buy one but I already have some expanded steel traction mats. So I do not need another set.

BTW, I went to Wally World looking for the plastic mats referenced here in a previous posting. They did not have them and did not know what I was asking for.
