I was recently really wow'd by something I saw, that looked terrifically handy to me. Instant kennel flooring. Yup, it is great for sitting down on the lawn inside of a chain mail fence for example, as it not only keeps the dogs away from direct contact with grass or dirt, but it also prevents them from digging around and trying to get out under the fence.
It is very simple to use, there are grommet holes along each side and you simply push a peg through those, one that looks just like a tent peg, and it anchors the kennel flooring to the ground. The nice thing about this type of flooring is that it's sturdy enough to use in a kennel even with pretty hefty or tough wearing dogs, and yet it is super lightweight and easy to manipulate and work with.
The other type of portable kennel flooring I have used is thick rubber mat squares, similar to the type of rubber matting you often see used for exercise. The main problem that I had with this type of flooring, however, was when I put it in a kennel with some young puppies. Unfortunately, the sides weren't all flat down and in the space of about an hour two of the pups got ahold of the square and chewed it up, then started on the other adjacent squares. I suppose if you were sure of laying them flat and you used them in a cage without chewers they would also be fine too.
