Flooding problems, how to solve?

[Joe Lynch]

Currently we are at Rockingham Castle, dog Agility 5 day event. It's flooded! All our stuff in the awning is wet. Is there a clip together PVC patio one could buy? I was thinking of those PVC squares for installing in grass to drive on but use them as a raised patio instead? I'm a sure there must be some system to raise your stuff off the ground. Cheers.

Sorry, I can't help but you have my sympathy and best wishes. I hope it doesn't spoil your time away or your chances if you are competing. Good luck.

Hi. Most of the competitions are cancelled. But some they have moved 25 minutes drive from here but as we are in the motorhome we can't really up stakes. Also need tractor to pull us out. Over 760 vans here, lots stuck. So we will miss the main competitions but maybe it will give those who have transport a chance to win. Hey ho.

To keep your stuff off the floor may I suggest a folding table or two, that's what we used when we had a caravan and awning. Water can be waist deep befor your stuff gets wet !
The plastic squares you refer to are designed to be filled in with gravel, they will take your weight unfilled but will only give 50mm of lift and may well sink into the mud.

Pallets get some old pallets?

It’s a bit too late for pallets, unfortunately...

At least the soaked water will drain through the gaps

Is this what you are looking for,

Child's blow up paddling pool? Keep the awning doors shut, it might float off. Or suspend everything from the roof or wind out awning somewhere with rope.

Lots of rain forecast for there on Saturday.

These might help , and they have the added usage of helping to get you off boggy ground/sand ?
