Horse matts for home gym

boardtc

I am organising some exercise space in the garage. I heard about a tip to get some horse matts for about €25 each, I was thinking 4. Would you recommend jigsaw ones that fit together? Any recommended source? I found https://stablemats.ie/product/cow-mats/

Thanks!

I got these ones. They weigh a ton and are bomb proof.

Jeepers, 6' x 4', one might be enough, 2 max! The space would me multi use though, so I would need to put the mats against the wall when not in use, would they be too heavy for that?

They'd be fine against the wall, they are great mats for gyms. v heavy duty

They are very heavy and awkward to manage on your own. Two people and it’s fine though.

Also be careful because they can mark the wall if the corner of the mat scrapes off it, might not matter to you in a garage.

I have four of them in my home gym for the last 8 years or so.

Thanks. I want to be able to move them easily on my own so probably need something lighter, thanks!

I am also thinking of laying rubber mating in my garage for a home gym.

Has anyone purchased matting from http://black-swan.ie/ ?

AFAIK these are used in commercial gyms

I got these in my garage in case it helps. They are about 20kg each but you can move them alright,

Do you have any idea of what delivery charges are from them? Living in Galway so quite a distance from them!

I don’t, I drove there and picked them up myself.

They weigh a ton though so shipping might be expensive. Give them a buzz and they might have an idea of price.
