Horse Stall Mats

I'm thinking of buying a couple of these for flooring in my home gym. My gym is in a finished basement with older carpet that will need replaced at some point down the road. If I place these horse stall mats on top of the carpet, will the carpet get stained black from the horse stall mats? Should I place something under the horse mats? Also, any general info on how well these worked out for anyone who uses them would be great. Thanks in advance.

 

If you plan on using them, put a sheet of plywood underneath. Means the mats won't stain your carpet and you can more safely drop weights if need be.

 

No other input on using these? How about cutting these things to fit in odd areas, anyone done that? I'd hate to drop $150 and find out these were a bad idea.

 

I used these to make a olympic lifting platform...they work fine and don't stain my garage carpet whenever i move them.

Awesome, thanks.

 

I'd recommend having at least one layer of plywood before you put rubber mats down.

 

Cut 'em with a jig saw.

 

You just like the smell

 

in my 8th grade wood shop class back in 1997, a Black family protested the name of the saw and we could no longer use the word "jig", we had to call it a "skill" saw.
