Going in my basement. it only needs to be about 1/4" thick. I've searched craigslist but they are a little bit more than I want to spend. If anyone has any leads let me know. It will be about 400 square feet. Thanks!

There's a place on chambers towards the end almost that sells horse matts, super durable and come in 4x6 sheets. My friend used them at his now very successful crossfit gym.
Horse stall mats are definitely a great budget solution for a home gym.
Here's a few bulk rolls of 1/4" and 3/8" thickness mats:

Horse stall mats are all the rage... it's all people who have garage gyms that I know use. I think Murdoch's has them.. the tractor supply place too. They're damn heavy
Yep, horse stall mats. The Ace Hardware ? at US 85 & 69 th. Ave. in Commerece City carries them.
Not what I'd use it for, but wondering if these would be a good idea for my coming unfinished basement aquarium sump room. Possible to protect concrete from splash/spills as well as a tiny bit of leveling surface for stands/tanks since the concrete isn't I think perfect down there.
Well, they do stand up to horse piss and road apples.......Quote:

As far as basement just figure it'd almost insulate room a smidge from cold floor, protect it from saltwater a bit, and possibly help with small imperfections. (Anything major and it's time to shim and level.)
