Hi there, first time posting so bear with. My husband and I are wanting to build a pain cave in our garage- we've had a massive clear out and want to set up the turbo trainer permanently in there. The old flooring is water damaged from an old leak which we're now wanting to replace. Has anyone got any idea what to put down in the garage that'd be best for our turbo trainer? Seen this one which is vinyl and just wondered if anyone had used it?

Any help would be very much appreciated, don't want to spend a small fortune on flooring if it's rubbish!

  That thread will probably help you if people don't see this one.

The large interlocking foam tiles are excellent, careful on the quality as some are a little soft.

Just something waterproof for the sweat I guess. You don't need a specific kind of floor, just put the foam workout tiles under the turbo

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
