MORE STABLE
The reinforced base reduces the dipping and bunching you get from a basic fabric hammock.
IRONBARK PET CO. / ROAD SERIES
A reinforced rear-seat platform that bridges the footwell, gives bigger dogs more room and keeps fur, mud and sand off the upholstery.
$11 flat-rate shipping Australia-wide. Free automatically when your order reaches $80.
RoadDeck measures approximately 132 × 60 × 41 cm and is designed to suit most rear benches. Vehicle interiors vary, so we recommend measuring the usable rear-seat area before ordering.
Adjustable headrest straps, seat anchors and a nonslip backing help secure the cover, while the reinforced base panels create the extended platform over the footwell.
Everyday drives, park runs, beach days and longer road trips — especially when you want more rear-seat space for a medium or large dog and less mess left behind.
MORE ROOM. LESS CLEAN-UP.
RoadDeck protects the rear cabin and turns the footwell into usable space, giving your dog a flatter, more stable place to travel.
FOR WET PAWS, FUR AND SAND
The waterproof quilted surface takes the wet coats, dusty paws and loose fur so your rear seats and door trims don’t have to.
WHAT THE HARD BASE CHANGES
The reinforced base reduces the dipping and bunching you get from a basic fabric hammock.
Full-width coverage helps keep fur, sand, mud and wet-dog mess away from your rear seats and doors.
By bridging the footwell, RoadDeck turns otherwise lost space into part of your dog’s travel area.
BUILT FOR BIG-DOG ENERGY
A standard hammock still leaves bigger dogs limited to the seat cushion. RoadDeck extends the usable surface over the footwell, giving them more room to sit, turn and settle.
THE HARD-BOTTOM DIFFERENCE
Both protect the seat. RoadDeck goes further by creating a supported platform over the rear footwell.
SIMPLE TO FIT
Loop the headrest straps.
Adjust the front and rear straps around the headrests.
Set the anchors.
Tuck the seat anchors into the rear cushion gap to help limit movement.
Secure the sides.
Raise the door panels, check the fit and keep seat-belt openings accessible where needed.
MEASURE ONCE. ROAD-TRIP OFTEN.
RoadDeck is approximately 132 × 60 × 41 cm. Because rear cabins vary between vehicles, measure your usable rear-seat width and depth before ordering.

READY FOR THE NEXT DRIVE
Leave it installed between trips, then wipe it down when the dog brings half the park home.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A normal hammock mainly protects upholstery. RoadDeck adds reinforced support panels across the base, helping bridge the rear footwell and create a flatter, wider travel area.
It is designed for most cars, SUVs, utes and 4WDs, with adjustable straps and flexible side protection. The approximate dimensions are 132 × 60 × 41 cm. Measure your rear seat before ordering because cabin dimensions vary.
Yes — the hard-bottom format is particularly useful for medium and large dogs because it creates more usable rear-seat area than a basic hammock. Always make sure the product is correctly installed and use an appropriate vehicle restraint for your dog.
The quilted surface is designed to resist water and everyday dog mess. Wipe down mud, sand, wet paw marks and spills with a damp cloth after the drive.
RoadDeck includes access openings for compatible seat-belt restraints. It is a seat protector and platform, not a crash-tested restraint system, so use an appropriate harness and vehicle restraint when travelling.
Shipping is $11 flat rate Australia-wide and becomes free automatically when your order total reaches $80.
For everyday cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Where deeper cleaning is required, remove any internal support panels first where applicable and allow the cover to dry fully before reinstalling.
BUILT FOR THE GOOD DAYS
Give your dog a wider, more stable back seat — and give yourself less to clean when you get home.
RoadDeck measures approximately 132 cm wide × 60 cm deep, with 41 cm side panels.
Before ordering, measure the usable width and depth of your rear bench and compare it with the dimensions above. The adjustable headrest straps give some flexibility across different vehicles.
Best suited to: most sedans, hatchbacks, wagons and SUVs with standard rear headrests.
Watch how hundreds of Aussies are already using the RoadDeck.
PUT TO WORK BY DOG OWNERS
We bought this for our husky in our Hyundai Tucson and have tested it over a road trip with plenty of stops. Setup was quick once I adjusted the front straps evenly. It stops paws disappearing into the rear footwell. It feels more substantial than the soft hammock we had before. Could not be happier with it.
After using a soft hammock for years, this feels like a proper upgrade for two beagles. My dog can stretch out properly now without sliding into the gap. Could not be happier with it.
We bought this for our staffy in our CR-V and have tested it over a wet week of walks. It took about four minutes to fit and the straps were straightforward. Mud and loose fur stay on the cover rather than ending up through the seats. It feels more substantial than the soft hammock we had before. Five stars from us.
CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Real feedback for Ironbark RoadDeck — Hard-Bottom Dog Car Hammock — pulled directly from this product’s review feed.

We bought this for our 36 kg lab in our Kia Sportage and have tested it over a road trip with plenty of stops. The sizing was right for the car and I only needed a small strap adjustment. The seat underneath has stayed clean even after wet walks. The base panels stay firm even with a heavier dog moving around. Genuinely useful product.

Bought this because our 30 kg mixed breed kept slipping into the footwell. It has made longer drives calmer because the dog is not constantly readjusting. Exactly what I was after.

We bought this for our whippet in our Corolla hatch and have tested it over the school run and weekend park trips. It took about four minutes to fit and the straps were straightforward. The rigid base keeps the surface flat instead of sagging into the footwell. It still looks good after a few dirty trips and a quick wipe down. Would buy it again.

We bought this for our samoyed in our Ford Ranger and have tested it over three weekends of use. The anchors and headrest straps were easy to work out. It gives my older dog a much easier surface to lie on. The fabric feels thick enough for claws without being awkward to clean. It is a little bulky to store when it is not in the car. Overall it has been a worthwhile upgrade.
easy to fit and feels sturdy. love it
I did not expect the hard base to matter this much, but it really does with our two small dogs. The back seat finally feels like one stable platform. A big improvement over our old cover.
finally no sagging into the footwell. love it
I chose this one because our 41 kg shepherd needed more usable room. It gives my older dog a much easier surface to lie on. Very happy with it.
properly stable even with two dogs. very happy
We bought this for our 36 kg lab in our Kluger and have tested it over a camping trip. The anchors and headrest straps were easy to work out. The base has stayed level and the straps have not worked loose. The zips and buckles all feel solid so far. Five stars from us.
I was tired of seeing our samoyed slide into the footwell. There is noticeably less movement when I brake or turn. Does what it says.
After using a soft hammock for years, this feels like a proper upgrade for my rescue dog. It stops paws disappearing into the rear footwell. Worth it for the extra space alone.
does the job and stays flat. four stars
This has been in our small SUV for a while now and still sits flat. The seat underneath has stayed clean even after wet walks. Does what it says.
We have tried a couple of cheaper covers and this is easily the most stable. The whole rear area feels much more secure and comfortable for the dog. It has stayed in the car ever since.
finally no sagging into the footwell. would recommend
Does the job and feels sturdy, although it took a fair bit of adjusting and is bulkier to store than I expected. Good once it is in place but I would check the measurements carefully for a smaller back seat.
We bought this for our dalmatian in our Corolla hatch and have tested it over a camping trip. It sits neatly across the rear bench and does not bunch up. It has made longer drives calmer because the dog is not constantly readjusting. Nothing has stretched or shifted after repeated use. Very happy with it.
Used it with our 36 kg lab for three weekends of use. It gives my older dog a much easier surface to lie on. Does what it says.
works well once the straps are adjusted. good buy
After using a soft hammock for years, this feels like a proper upgrade for my dachshund. Mud and loose fur stay on the cover rather than ending up through the seats. Five stars from us.
The main thing I wanted was a flat surface for our dalmatian. The hard bottom gives both dogs enough usable room to settle. Wish I had bought one sooner.

A friend suggested it after I mentioned that my older greyhound kept losing footing. The whole rear area feels much more secure and comfortable for the dog. It covers one belt socket in our car, although the other two remain accessible. Happy with it overall.
good quality and quick setup. would recommend
I ordered it for our 36 kg lab after our last hammock started sagging. The hard bottom gives both dogs enough usable room to settle. I needed a second go to get the straps sitting evenly. Happy with it overall.
We bought this for our golden retriever in our Corolla hatch and have tested it over daily trips to the dog park. It took about four minutes to fit and the straps were straightforward. The hard bottom gives both dogs enough usable room to settle. The material wipes clean easily and has not held onto the muddy smell. Wish I had bought one sooner.
