I need rubber/floor for home gym in basement, cant find anywhere. Any suggestions?

[TheStiffmeister]

I been searching craigslist for a month. I have not assembled my rack because I need some of the rubber mats and such. What did you guys do?

I don't want to damage my basement floor with weights/deadlifts etc. I also was hoping the rubber is able to absorb some sort of shock to prevent joint issues, re-racking damage etc.

Home depot? There isnt any sports equipment places around here that are available. Trying to keep the cost down.

Thanks!

The find a store button is in the upper left hand corner, I can't direct link to it.

Or any farm supply store, they are called stall mats.

3/4" stall mats, 3/4" plywood, or both (ideally). i originally had my entire gym in stall mats, then realized i really only needed it for the sides of a deadlifting platform. you can get away with just one mat.

With almost 8,000 posts, I would have expected that you would have known about the BB.com search feature by now. Google offers a neat search as well from what I hear. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rubber+gym+flooring
