Hi all, just wanted to show a small but very useful project I have been working on. Would like to know what others use... I bought a 10ft. piece of galvanized grating off of Craigslist, cut it down into 24inch sections and with leftover wood and Trex decking pieces I am making different foot cleaners. Some will be free-standing steps, while others will attach to small decks. One for the outhouse, cabin, camper..etc. The last pic is a piece that will attach to my 4x4 deck on my outdoor shower.

i was at home depot the other day, they marked down those boot brush thingys that you put on the floor and rub the dirt off your boots. i paid $3.48 each, i bought 3! they work great and they also brush the side of your foot as well as the bottom of your foot

I have one of these too - they work very well. Unfortunately, I haven't figured a way to get the darned dog to use it!

Put a Scooby snack or bone under the grate before he comes in.

Thanks neb and hattie. I hear you mossberg on the boot brush, they have those at some of our area hiking trails and they clean boots really well.
I like that my grates are actually heavy duty also. The piece I am standing on.... between the Trex, the metal grate, and the wood, I would say it has to weigh close to 50 lbs. Lifting it is a bear. My property is forest and tends to get shoes covered with pine duff and such more often than it does mud.
