it normally goes on sale for $89. plus yopu have to figure in the tax at about $14 per box. when overstock has them in stock its about the same price but they usually offer black and grey tiles separately. at costco they only come in grey or black/white combo boxes

The rustoleum epoxy flooring from Home Depot is pretty easy to apply and holds up well, less than $150 for a two car garage.

they are even cheaper now. these things are a litte more than a dollar a tile plus shipping and tax. unfortunatley they are only offering them in blue and yellow right now. i would keep my eye out on the site if you are serious about it and have a budget. like i said, i got mine in black and grey and it was around half the shipped price of race deck. i have to admit the race deck is a nicer product, but i am not using it in a commercial application so the sam's works fine for me.

Can anyone PM me sams' club id or account information so I can purchase them on line?

I just laid down rubber BigFoot floor tiles for $2.28 per square foot. I cannot comment on the durability but I love the look.

They are elevated by small square channels but I'm not sure how well it's ventilated.

Thanks for doing that! I have some I would use for a display at car shows. I always thought about using it on the floor.

What did you use to attach it to the floor? Some form or gluey stuff?

Thanks again

Yeah. It is a special glue that has to set up. Put it on and let cure for 20 min or so then put down your tile. Has worked like a champ.

Cool, thanks for that.
I assume it's sold right there with the tires? And did you prep the floor other than washed it and sweeping before laying down the tiles?

Thanks! I am going to try it next week
