[@hammerdown3876]

@@kwitwerikok8o863 - yeah or i would imaging cars rolling in and out over that carpet everyday would reduce its lifespan 10 fold.... like done in months.. not years. lol. The best would be a product like Bedrug for truck beds. I have a Bedrug and love it. I can vacuum it or power wash it out and its non absorbant so even old oil i spilled didnt stain it. If these tiles would hold up to heavy traffic like cars, be stain resistant, and be able to be power washed clean Id bite on them in 2 seconds. Instead ill keep shopping other ideas such as stain and seal and the expensive garage tiles.

It may not serve all purposes, but I've been happy using the packs of foam shop mats from Harbor Freight. For $10 you get four interlocking squares of 25" x 25" that figures out to $0.58 per sq ft.

[@kingpaulf]

I used that under an aboveground swimming pool. It was wonderful. I was able to put my pool on pavers and have a perfectly level pool with a comfortable bottom.

[@seanseoltoir]

A lot of those foam pads are not very good if you need to roll something heavy across it... They really add a lot of resistance to the rolling...

[@eugeneflynn7435]

@@seanseoltoir I agree. Especially if the wheels are hard and narrow. Also, sliding heavy objects across these foam pads may not work out very well either, since I think the pads would probably buckle. In my case, I used foam mats for my shop, cabin, and play areas in the rec room, e.g., the dart board area. They are, of course, easy to set up, take up, and cut to size. Over the years, I have moved some of them from one space to another for various reasons. I've also noticed that production runs of the same product may vary slightly (maybe very slightly) in color (minor variations). It seemed to me the interlocking pattern was generally good from batch to batch, but I think I noticed some slight variation -- but no problem as a practical matter. Another point is that like the original Ford Model T's, you can get these foam mats in any color you like, as long as it's grey.

This is just an idea for you next time, I purchased some indoor outdoor square carpet tiles like those & I love it no glue cause the rubber on the outside bottom keeps it from moving, plus if my doggies have an accident I just pull the soiled square piece up wash with baking soda, little soap hose it off let dry & I'm good to go.

I don't have wall to wall carpet in my shop, but I do have several carpet runners (usually the ones my wife says are too old for the house, but c'mon woman... they're totally fine!). I like them around my reloading station, sink, and assembly tables... all to help keep dropped items from being damaged by the concrete floor as well as stopping dropped items from skittering out of sight. I have found that using a cheap leaf blower makes really quick work of most floor debris, including the carpet runners.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

I started using vinyl flooring in the shop/garage. You can usually find it for cheap at flooring shops as leftover or discontinued stock. I just lay it and forget it. No glue, no tape. It cleans up well and if light colored enough, easy to find dropped small parts.

[@cerial0411]

If you go to Menard s or other home depot place they have outdoor carpeting for around 0.60 a yard and you can get it in grey. You then use Velcro industrial strips that you superglue to the concrete(the adhesive backing is good but not perfect). Lay the strips down and even out the glue then the carpet sticks to the hook side of the velcro. No need to even use the non hook side. Now you can lay the carpet right down then cut the edges to slide under your trim. More importantly when it gets all grungy or a pet has a issue you can take it outside and hit it with the pressure washer before letting it dry out then slap the now cleaned carpet back down on the velcro strips and bam your back in business. Or if you feel like it just replace it every couple of years. I run this stuff in cars, boats, around the home, on decks, etc. In your case I would get it in grey then use it between the equipment as runners. This will catch the pet hair and a lot of sawdust so you can then roll it up and take it outside to be hit with the air hose or power washer.

A concrete floor is my best option for easy cleaning whether wet or dry-and spilt paints are usually a daily thing lol.

I've used used carpet outside for mulching, paths, just plain cheap man's concrete...for at least 25 years. Good wool carpet from the old days is the best. Low/no shag so you can sweep it.

And it's easy to shovel snow in the winter. Quiet and smooth....

I laughed out loud when you said how often the dogs shed. I bought some carpet tiles for my shop/garage from Menards. I don’t remember how cheap they were. But cheap enough for me to lay them down on my half of the garage. They are considerably thicker than the ones you bought. They don’t have any adhesive backing so I had to use carpet tape, which is a nightmare to use to try and remove the paper backing from it. But they’re staying in place and haven’t lifted up or gotten frayed.

[@KeggyUran]

Not a fan of carpet but anything is better than racedeck XL. 2400 square ft of red and black in a climate controlled garage. Looks and works awesome. The one thing they forgot to mention is the static electricity build up, especially in the winter. If you touch one of the lifts after walking across the floor, you get a little shock. They said we never heard of that but low and behold they sell an antistatic cleaner. It has dissipated some but still happens. Also if you leave the doors open on a nice day, the tiles in the sun expand and buckle up. Had a slight gas leak in an old car, the gas warped the tiles, I had to replace a few. Luckily it was near the garage door so I only had to take up a few rows. For just over $14k, I expected a little more.

[@Sammywhat]

From experience I used vinyl peel and stick. Use garage everyday even winter. It is lasting for 4 years. I'm starting to have issues now because it coming off do to parking wet car in garage and water getting underneath. Also, cannot turn tire in garage. It you don't park a car in garage and don't plan on getting it wet to often. I will say it can last 8 years if you take care of it. If you put polyurethane like your coating wood or furniture. it will hold up those 8 years way better. I don't really regret it. $400 bucks lasted 4 years and I don't plan on taking it out so soon. probably just replace the ones coming loose. What I do think I'll hate is is when it comes to remove it and taking that clue off floor. So, if done correctly it will be just fine.

[@rogeredwards3563]

Some thoughts: 1) If you don't park vehicles in your garage - and most of us have way too much stuff in ours to do so - carpeting is nice and much more comfortable to walk on, especially in the cold months when a concrete floor just retains and locks in the cold, makes working out there uncomfortable; 2) But I'm not so sure it's the surface of choice if you are constantly sawing wood or any activity producing copious amounts of very small particles; 3) Upon installing carpet squares, generously coat it with Scotch Guard, as it will make vacuuming up much more effective; 4) When you've made a mess with dirt, or wood particles, use a leave blower to blow the vast majority of the material outside, before vacuuming. 5) For areas where you park you lawnmower / riding mower or anything that may leak gas or oil, or will receive very heavy traffic, buy some large rubber mats for those areas - which are easy to drag out and pressure wash or soap, brush and hose clean; 6) When the carpet starts to get dirty or dingy, use a carpet steam cleaner (good used ones can often be found at GoodWill or thrift stores for less than $30). Look on YT for homemade / DIY hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar-based carpet cleaning mixes. Clean the carpet WELL before it starts to get filthy with entrenched dirt, etc. Mist and superficially wet (but don't SOAK) the carpet before running your machine - thoroughly wash it and then rinse / dry really well. 7) If you run a heater in the garage, place it over a fireproof or metal panel. 8) Keep a working / CHARGED fire extinguisher in your garage.

1) Hair dryer on low to remove backing. 2) Iron on low heat after carpet has been applied to increase "stuckness" to help prevent edges from lifting. 3) tarp/drop cloth for easy, power free, cleanup - Sometimes it does pay to stop, curb yourself from doing "The guy thing", and think things through to the end results and not be a Homer Lol.

I was having a problem with the floor in my garage. The salt that is used on the roads here in wisconsin was destroying the surface of the concrete under the cars. It was a real mess trying to do something on the floor like working on the cars. I had some leftover roofing materials, that roll tar paper stuff that is super sticky on one side. So I rolled some of that out on the floor and then pulled the backing off from underneath. This stuff really stuck good and turned out to be reasonably durable. I had to buy some more rolls of that stuff at the building supply store, it's not cheap at about 50 bucks a roll , but the application was certainly quick. Is it perfect? No, but I can now easily sweep the floor and if I crawl around on the floor I am not covered in concrete dust. It's been about 10 years and it's still in pretty good condition. That stuff might actually work on busted up concrete and gravel. Everything stays a lot cleaner. It used to be if I dropped a screw or bolt on the floor any grease would attract a lot of filth. Now I can sweep before I bring the car in to work on and it's nice. My creeper would even roll around, those won't go anywhere if the floor has crap on it.

Awesome dogs! I have a Belgian and a Golden Retriever.

I like these videos, and the "Big Foot sighting" towards the end of each one always makes me laughs. Nice work!

[@sparky19925]

Just FYI you're using the hard floor attachment on that dyson. The carpet one has the bristles and does a much better job on carpet

[@pd9888]

looks great. would a heat gun help it stick to the floor ? what about a clear rubber mat running from your high traffic areas ? I'd think you;d want to scrape all that old glue and hair off first. with these tiles, in a commercial setting, I've seen a tougher carpet, with a rubber back, glue em down, they're good forever. a little more cost, but looks, performs awesome.

[@Skans-Gustav]

Why the hll would one want a carpet in a workshop? That question was never explained. Thanks anyway Eddie Vedder, do enjoy your videos.

[@rodkoehler]

Scary stuff. Nice looking carpet for a man cave. But sweeping cement is so much easier than vaccuming.

[@gottathinkupanewone]

It looks good, though. And there will be some kind of problem with any flooring you put in a work area: vinyl tiles or sheet vinyl would dent and nick. Some large pieces of cheap carpet will ravel, and when a kid or a pet figure out how to catch a loose thread and pull on it, your floor will begin to look like a plowed field as the yarn vanishes and nothing but the backing remains. Paint would chip. Nothing is perfect.
