Abstract: A grating-like floor comprises a plurality of slats each having a flat upper surface and a longitudinally extending substantially perpendicular bottom projection. The bottom projection may be barbed and have grooves provided in the projection of the plurality of slats where they intersect in a transverse fashion, such that a series of upright slats plug into at least two slats turned upside down in order to form the floor. Except for the grooves, the same slat is used for forming the floor surface and for forming a base of the floor.
