horse stall Mats from tractor supply!! 

Thx for the tip Otb! We don’t have a local one for delivery but it may still be cheaper to drive an hour for pick up. Still doing the math stuff.. 😆  

They are 4 foot by 6 foot and I think 3/4 inch thick they are super heavy duty and give you a firm platform that you absolutely need for squats and deadlifts. Trying to do either of those on those Interlocking foam flooring is a really bad idea. And you can drop whatever weights yoy want on the ground without damaging anything.  

Great job on meeting your goals! Can't wait to see pics of your home gym when it's finished 💪👍👍 

Ya Otb we already nixed the cushy route. We have yoga mats for floor work. My cat already goes to town on those.. I don’t want to even imagine what he would do with a whole floor to himself! His destruction was my first deterrent.  

Thank you Diana! I can’t wait to show you! I need to start taking progress pics too. I love seeing others but never think about it at the right time. Lol 

Awesome job!! 

Thanks DM! 😃 

The stall mats are great. Watch for sales! And moving them is a two person job unless you enjoy swearing. I had a small woman for help and it went fine. 

TomLong the best way I found to move them is roll them up long ways so it looks like a hot dog roll and use two ratchet straps to hold them In that position and carry them from the ratchet straps thats how I moved 10 of them works pretty well otherwise they are very awkward and hard to hold 

You have good plan 

Thx Chess! 😃
