    where to get thick rubber matting

    Hey all....I'm after some thick rubber matting like they have in gyms, but I don't have a clue where to start looking. I wanna use this matting in my home gym, it would be kinda cool being able to drop my weights without having to worry about cracking the concrete .

    Not sure about prices. Might be cheaper, but not as cool looking to throw down some plywood. But I hear ya I worry about my floor. I've though about mats too. Plus your isolated could stick your tongue in the outlet. Sorry electricals my things.

    I got some at a local farm and feed shop. They're called cow mats. The ones I got are 3/4' thick by 4x6.

    Mik's suggestion is a good one...try a farm supply store OR a commercial flooring place...might be cheaper there than at a home store.

    Consider conveyor belting. You can buy it in huge sheets and its not too expensive. You can find it in almost any thickness you would need.

    Aha...all good ideas guys. I might try a rubber store here in melbourne, see if they got it. Or maybe they'd sell them in gym supply stores?

    You will be paying top dollar at a gym supply store. Id look into all options before shelling out the dough.
