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.
$10 flat-rate shipping Australia-wide. Free automatically when your order reaches $100.
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 $10 flat rate Australia-wide and becomes free automatically when your order total reaches $100.
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.
PUT TO WORK BY DOG OWNERS
Bought it mainly to protect the seats but the extra stable floor is probably my favourite part.
My border collie used to pace around and slip between the seats. With this he has a proper platform and seems much calmer.
Pretty impressed. It sits flatter than I expected and the side coverage is decent too.

Love the concept and it works. The only reason for 4 stars is the first install took a bit of fiddling in my car.
Very handy if you have a big dog. Gives them more actual floor space instead of just the width of the seat.
The hard bottom was definitely worth paying extra for. I notice the difference every single drive.
Our two smaller dogs share it and there's heaps more usable room. It basically turns the whole rear area into one flat space.
The base is firm but there is still enough padding on top. Good balance between support and comfort.
I bought this after my dog slipped into the footwell on a sudden stop. Much safer feeling setup now.
The best part is when cornering. My dog isn't constantly bracing himself anymore because the surface doesn't sag.

Setup was straightforward and it fits nicely behind the front seats. So far no scratches or marks underneath either.
Great for road trips. Dog can stand, turn around and lie down without the cover collapsing underneath him.
Feels secure and well thought out. I do wish the storage bag was a little bigger, otherwise no complaints.
It has made keeping the car clean much easier and I like that the dog can't push the middle section down between the seats.
Would recommend for anyone with a larger breed. The normal hammocks just never felt stable enough for us.
really happy with this. sturdy, easy enough to clean and my dog seems more comfortable on it
Good fit in the back of my wagon. One strap was a little tight at first but overall really happy.
It looks neat in the car and doesn't feel cheap. I expected the hard base to be bulky but it's actually pretty easy to remove.
My dog is a nervous traveller and having a flat stable base seems to help. She lies down much sooner now.
Solid product. I especially like that the footwell gap is basically gone, which was always the sketchy part with our old hammock.
Been using it for a few weeks now and it hasn't shifted around. Dog hair, sand and muddy paws are all staying off the actual seats.
The cover itself feels tough and the boards underneath make a massive difference. Our shepherd is about 34kg and it holds him fine.
Surprisingly sturdy and the dog has much more room to stretch out. Also catches most of the dirt after the beach.
Really good for a heavy dog. The softer hammock we had before sagged badly between the seats, this doesn't.
Works well in my dual cab. Had to adjust the straps a couple times to get it sitting exactly right but after that it's been great.
This is one of those things I should have bought ages ago. Makes the rear seat feel almost like a little dog platform.
Easy to put in, easy to take out, and actually feels strong enough for a larger dog. Would buy again.
The base gives my big dog much more confidence getting in and moving around. less wobbling and scrambling.
Feels premium compared with the previous car cover I had. The hard base is supportive without feeling like a plank.
We do a lot of weekend trips and this has made the back seat setup so much better. Dog settles quicker because the surface feels flat.
Finally something that stops the dog disappearing into the rear footwell when he stands up. very happy with it
Good quality, straps were easy to work out and it doesnt move around much once installed.
The rigid bottom is the reason I bought it and it's great. Gives the dog way more usable space in the back.
Fits our SUV well and the base feels sturdy under a 38kg dog. Exactly what I wanted for longer drives.
