rubber room!



Welcome horse stall mats! Durable to the point that they'll be left with the cockroaches and Twinkies, and much cheaper than the fancy interlocking gym flooring.

Clyde asked about cost and dimensions. I bought three @ $56 ea. = $168 total. Size is 4 x 8' x 3/4". 4 x 6' also available at Wilco Farm Store (U.S.). I hear they come in different thicknesses, but Wilco just had the 3/4", and that's fine.

These can be cut. It's hard to see in this pic, but the one inside the squat rack is cut to fit. They can also be glued. I plan on making blocks for Olympic lifting by stacking pieces and gluing them together. This stuff is also perfect for making your own lifting platform.

One tip for buying them: take rope to bind the roll, so it's easier to unload and move when you get home. They're heavy and want to be sprawled out.



Another fabulous aquisition in the rubber realm is my new junked dumptruck tire! Perfect for flipping, beating, and general wailing. Pics coming.

So what was the total cost of the mats? What size do they come in and how many did you get?
