Here are a few pics of how i put together my Mews Feeding Shelf. After the Mews 3rd year the Flaws in my initial designs were becoming obvious. I used a wooden shelf before And it began to rot. I chose to purchase a vinyl coated metal wire laundry shelf ( home Depot Closet Maid Laundry shelf ) to avoid any future issues of mold or Rot . I covered the shelf in a perfectly fitting Daisy mat Astro Turf Mat secured with Zip ties...

Nice. The only thing i can think of is that if there is blood/water/etc that comes off the food the daisy mat might get kinda grimy. Looks easy enough to clean though

Ethics make the individual, not the other way around.
My yard hose does wonders on food grime and mutes on all the daisy mat perches in the mews . I used a scratch Awl to poke holes in the mat for securing it down with Zipties underneath . I also added about about 20 more holes for good drainage .
