I've been wanting to build a lifting platform for a while and have decided to clear out the garage and go ahead with it.
It's going to be a 2.4x2.4m platform with plywood base, another 15mm plywood board in the middle and 2x 2400x600 rubber mats either side - the only issue I have with going ahead and building it is the lack of 15mm+ rubber that comes in rolls to cut down to size.
Everywhere I've looked people recommend horse stall mats which I've found plenty of online here in Australia but they all have texture/grooves on top of the mats which would make it incredibly annoying to use barbells on. The only alternative I can see is using gym tiles but they only come in 1x1m tiles which would mean cutting 1/2 of it off and when they're $35+ it seems like a bit of a waste..
Does anyone know of any rubber rolls/mats that have a smooth finish, would be strong/shock absorbent enough and are preferably located in Brisbane?
Thanks!
