Not if it is magic. Nev

AHHH floating magic carpet..yes of course Nev..

 

 

[facthunter]

Magic carpet the only way to go.... You could dry lease it. Perhaps that wooden suit the owner. Nev

Carpet also stops the dust blowing up.

I agree David, carpet really stinks when it gets mouldy after getting wet , although it is a quick solution to covering dirt in a hangar I guess.

 

 

[facthunter]

It keeps dust down. I've used it but never had it wet. People shouldn't pee in hangars. (And I mean it) Nev

probably would pay to put some gravel under the carpet to keep it dry or make sure that stormwater drains are fitted

The Israel Air Force Museum can help answer your question. It's got 100+ planes outside in the desert all year round. The only thing left of the Mossie there is its Merlins.

carpet on gravel works fine, when it rots away. 5-7 years ? put new over the top.....at least you can find stuff when you drop it. try that on gravel or dead grass........

Have to agree with that. Carpet on gravel, works. nev

Artificial grass is better than carpet, not so free though.

I have carpet on gravel. I noticed recently that there was heaps of condensation under the hood. Lame suggested that I lay plastic under the carpet. Will do before next winter.

 

Just to add, I also cover the Jab with a sheet over the front area and screen to help with the dust. Maybe this helps the condensation?
