Some crazy over estimation fails...
Only need two whole mats and the 3rd cut into 3 long strips, 2 strips will be used.

Need a windless day to park the van in the backyard. Then unfold the liner fully on the grass, then pull it into the van.

Going to get a few more 2x4ft plywood and chains w/hooks. Will glue liner to all the plywood only, then hook the plywood to the van. Floor mats will keep the bottom of the liner in place.

The top divider for the area behind the seats is still being figured out. It'll be the most difficult thing to do....

Yeah but by the time it gets down to the MPG of the Mustang, you'll have a load of animals going somewhere! Couldn't get but one small animal in the back of the Mustang.

Got the wood, liner & mats in place.
Hmm, seems like I over did the liner footage. Lots left for patches or other odd things.

Layed out, seems too big right away...

Tried to fold it up to spread out once inside..

Realized that it would be way too big & difficult to do it that way.

Time to measure several times & cut once!

I left enough on the sides to go up 33 inches, boards are 24in.

Need room to get in n out with the Crittermobile. So, fenceline is moving inwards about 6ft.
Temporarily up on Uposts for winter.
It'll be three rows of horizontal board instead of the vertical slats that are along the front/road.
How it'll look until April...

Roughly what it'll look like once done.

Could you just use the kind they make to keep dogs in the back or do you need to worry about hooves getting stuck in the mesh?

DH is pissin' & moanin' about those dividers...
Lol
I'm more than fine with one, I just need it to keep their slobbering heads outta my area!

I'll probably order one & just tune out his complaints if nothing else might work soon. I wanna take my minis on an adventure already!!
