Garage floor mats for parking on

[lotsofmiles]

What brand are you using? Are they any good?

I saw one at Sams club that was similiar to this: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=191403&navAction=#desc

Not ready to seal or coat the floor yet.

Just looking to stop some of the condensation that gets on the underside of truck when parking in there during the winter.

Garage is 1800 sq ft total. 90'x20'. The west wall, one of the 90' walls, is about 6 ft tall concrete, 2 foot steel siding (about 4 ft of wall is underground level). The rest of walls are all steel siding. I've got about half the walls insulated so far.

There is one room I made, 20'x20' that is my heated storage room. The rest of garage only has heat on while I'm there hiding, I mean "working".

Any thoughts, and links?

Wouldn't it just be cheaper tO just seal or cot the floor? Plus if you plan to do it anyways might as well save the $244. Just my opinion

 

[lotsofmiles]

idk. thats why I'm asking...

whats it cost to put some kinda coating/sealer down?

 

[Texas Chevy]

Not sure. I have been wondering the same thing though so hopefully someone who know can help us out

I'll click the link, dont remember, but I thought I found a mat that would fit under 'most' of my truck for under $200


EDIT - OK yea, that one is 244$ I thought I found a similiar one for under 200 idk

I am thinking you need a cupola. Wintertime condensation is most likely not going to be controlled by a mat or coating on the floor. You need airflow more than likely.

Definitely airflow of some sort. Coating won't stop that. A climate control will probably be the only way to remedy this

Look up cheap carpet on Craigslist. IMO

I have gotten free carpet for the winter so it doesn't make such a mess in the unheated garage, then just throw it out in the spring.

 

[lotsofmiles]

Is it all soggy wet & nasty when you lay on it?



The carpet that is. To change oil or whatever.




Hmmmm. Last winter i blocked the vents to try to keep heat in. Maybe just block them when I'm in there, leave them open the rest of time

I change oil in the heated garage with sealed floors :rofl:

If you want to keep the condensation off the floor, it needs to be warmer than the air around it. Might want to look into doing a heated floor using a small water heater for supply of heated water. That way when you change the oil in the winter, nice warm floor to lay on or just above on the creaper.
