telescopes on concrete roof
"Chris.B" wrote in message om... (Maurice Gavin) wrote in message ... Any thoughts? Should the walk-about area be padded and with what? Such mats must remain in place and be safe, self-draining and rotproof. TIA. Astro-Turf comes to mind. I agree entirely with this! You could try carpet underlay under the astroturf too- if not too cheap a grade it should last. I've had a chunk of 30 odd year olde underlay bunged under an old fish tank for the last two years outside and it is still AOK. That should keep even the biggest zeppos from jolting the instruments!
