    Now you just need to hang about 50 flags, banners and tapestries. Old school insulation.

    cow mats/stall mats, whatever you want to call them, are so much better than most “fitness mats” offered for gym use

      yea way more cost effective and better quality imo, the only downside is that you can’t really customize it

    Would it be worth your while dropping some sand or sand-sawdust mixture in between your top mat and the playground mat? I know there's some info about there about 'granular' materials in floors having a strong effect on vibration damping

    I built what is essentially a clone of the Eleiko SVR platform. It's super easy to do, but it can be a bit impractical for some.

      How thick were the matts that u got? I’m building a platform with stable matts aswell. Do you know if 10mm would be thick enough

    Looks great I want to build one just like you did I just have a quick question about using those puzzle mats, have they deformed, like become indented from dropping heavy weight on them or have they maintained being flat and level with the part you stand on?

      I will be changing the top mat to a harder rubber. No complaints from the neighbours in two years though but the mats sink unless I rotate
