Rubber matting?

[Jaycuda]

What are some good places to order from or stores to pick up rubber matting? I am finally financially stable enough to afford my own little 'mini gym' in my garage(Bumper Plates, 2 Bars and a rack on the way) and I want to good ahead and get my platform built. Finding the plywood is very easy but the rubber matting is proving to be rather difficult.

MDUSA

Pendlay

Really any place where you can find cheap shipping....that is the most important thing

From what I can tell, MDUSA only sells the stuff you use for flooring and isn't normally used in platform making?

I was unaware. They have two types it seems where you can buy 4x6 squares.

It's 3/4" rubber so regardless I think it would work

Check out a Tractor Supply. The mats are 4'x6', so will be just shy for a 8'x8' platform. Usually run betwee $35-40 per mat and weigh about a hundred pounds.

Awesome, I looked them up and they're perfect. For 80$ and I'll get 2 4ft by 6ft pieces of rubber matting. I'm going to cut them into 6 pieces of 4ft by 2ft. After building my platform, I'll have two pieces left over to do whatever with.

I went to the local feed store and bought some stall mats. About $45 each in Cali.

^^^ stall mats. There should be some equestrian or farm/tractor stores not to far from Edgewater. Even tractor supply co. is about 30 minutes away if you want to go through them and save on shipping. If you want to order online I got some of these along with other equipment. http://www.jesupgym.com/products.php?cid=21

Excellent!! That's the way to go IMHO!!

Thanks for the help guys. I got my mats yesterday, just got to wait for the freight, with my weights, to get here and then I'll be lifting in my garage.

Everyone's pretty much said it and it looks like you bought them, but yeah I'm gonna be looking to get some stall mats of my own from one of the near by tractor supply-type stores. I know a friend who can probably hook me up with some cheap plywood so who knows I may soon have a platform too.

Looks like you also got a similar home gym set up, too! I have two bars, a rack, a bench, and Dumbbell handles that I can slide 1 inch plates onto so I don't have to buy individual DBs. I'd recommend them, if you're looking for some DBs. They're cheap too

All you need is 1 4x6 mat cut down the middle (2-2x6)

Thanks man, I'll hopefully get those soon.

I needed 2-2x8 pieces though, or what I did is 4-2x4 pieces.
