**cwcmac** · 10-03-2018, 10:08 AM

Is the entire space for your gym or split for other purposes? EIther way it's gonna be an awesome space. Wish I had high ceilings for equipment

**vhd16** · 10-03-2018, 10:17 AM

What the heck only one pic... ? or you are in the process of uploading more.

**rpark** · 10-03-2018, 10:34 AM

Subbed, it's gonna be epic

**thejosef** · 10-03-2018, 10:48 AM

Oh my. You opening a gym? This is gonna be beautiful.

**keyboardworkout** · 10-03-2018, 10:52 AM

That's a big man cave.

**Synthetickiller** · 10-03-2018, 11:24 AM

So many possibilities. So much excitement.

So far the only thing finalized for his layout is where to put his bowflex and various shake weights.

In on this.

**chadsalt** · 10-03-2018, 11:51 AM

Lumber off the truck and organized, back hurts....

I've mentioned before and those I text/email already know, we moved 7/17 and I lost my 12'x22' bonus room and ended up in a 10'x12' room. Wife wants that room back, so the barn we were having built got upsized to house my weight room. It is 42'x60' and gym corner ends up 14'x20' which is plenty for what I do. The rest is for the horse stalls, tack, feed, mower, tools, tractor whatever else is around here that need to be inside.

Hope to have it framed in a week or so. Got a quote from Rogue for the flooring, got a PTAC picked out. Planning to do everything but the drywall myself, I hate that ****.

Quote from Rogue for flooring? Why would you do that, especially when it's in a barn? This will save you some cash:

**JustTheDad** · 10-03-2018, 12:43 PM

Stall mats are OK, but it does make for a lot of gaps. I bought 15mm impact rubber flooring from RubberFlooringInc. It's nice because it comes in colors, and it's half the price of going through Rogue. Just someplace to look at more options if you want to save a few bucks and it's super easy because they cut the rolls to length for you.

Horse stall mats are effective if you are short on funds, but long term if you want the space to look commercial then rubber rolls are the way to go. I almost get more compliments on my flooring than I do my equipment LOL, it's the first thing people seem to notice when they walk in my gym. (Rubber Flooring Inc.)

That's it. Resale also was factored in. An air conditioned, drywalled space will make a fine office/tack room for an equestrian facility if the next owner does not want a gym. And I don't really want to look at six miles of seams.

Someone link me this rubber flooring inc your talking about, the one I looked at was only a couple dollars cheaper than rogue quote for Regupol

**urbanlifter** · 10-03-2018, 01:29 PM

For me it wasn't for the cost, I just needed a quick solution delivered before moving my equipment into my new house. They had a 'Quick Ship' on certain items and I think they arrived within 3-4 days if memory serves correctly. They have been great and their cleaner/degreaser is fantastic, been over two years now and every time I mop the floor they look brand new again.

Biggest regret in my home gym is horse stall mats. It saved me a bunch, but I would do rolled flooring if I could have a do-over. Stupid seams.

I've been looking forward to this since you mentioned your construction plans/method in the EC section.

That's a great looking building but is 14'x20' big enough?,

Go with Regupol you won't regret it.

I had stall mats in my gym for over 10 years, nothing wrong with stall mats, but earlier this year I installed rolled rubber, both functionally and aesthetically it's made a hell of a difference.

Does anyone else feel bad for the poor horse here that's gotta stand in it's stall and watch Chadsalt build more muscle and get harder for that unfortunate animal to have to carry?

Poor horse has to live with purple flooring too???

**irongrandpa** · 10-03-2018, 05:55 PM

It would be worth checking, but, when I got my rubber flooring, Rubber Flooring Inc was quite a bit more expensive once you added shipping.

I ordered 300 sq feet, shipping was under $200. What does Rogue charge for shipping, and per sq ft?

I don’t remember the price of just the shipping but I ordered about 300 sq ft with the 10% color flecks and flooring including shipping was $2.36 /sq ft. Also, Regupol flooring is shipped straight from their manufacturing facility in Pa. I tried to buy it direct from Regupol but they only sell through their dealers.

**emp1acur** · 10-03-2018, 07:17 PM

Might be different in Canada, but the quote I just got through Rogue Canada to ship Regupol to my door was less than RubberFlooringInc by over 10%.

Rogue took a look at my drawing, and is happy to accommodate my custom cuts such that each roll is cut based on my room width. Maybe RFI would do the same, but I don't know.

**WeakSauz** · 10-04-2018, 07:23 AM

This is going to be epic! Following this build

Finally, you are upgrading something in the GYM. lol.. Are you going to wait for the Rogue BF sale to save on shipping? It is only 6 weeks out.

Usually rubber flooring will also have sale during BF. Don't remember whether it is 10% or more. I did contemplate upgrading to rolled rubber from stall mats..

**cwcmac** · 10-04-2018, 08:51 AM

rubber flooring inc will offer large discounts (20-25%) if you ask or leave something in your cart but not order. Don't ever pay full price from them. I think they also included lift gate fees for free.

I want to say I paid about $900-$950 for 400 square feet (5 rolls of 4'x20') with shipping to Michigan and liftgate. They took the pallet directly into my garage.

More than that the horses have to listen to all the grunting and moaning from the owner when he is lifting heavy every week.

Found my Regupol flooring invoice. It was $708.44 for 300 sq ft of 10% color fleck. That was delivered to my house, loaded on a pallet jack an, dropped with a lift gate, and the driver even helped me pull it UP my driveway ( about 200').
