Anyone Have a "Carpad" on Their Garage Floor?

HI SWEETHEART.

WWW.GRIOTSGARAGE.COM

 

Have you seen the mats that you can roll out to cover the entire floor? They come in various colors and textures. Seems like a good idea.

No and yes,

I thought the question waqs has anyone "CRAPED" on thier garage floor.

 

CARPAD....??

 

I am not telling.

 

I bought one and sent it back. I didn't like that the edges were just a hose inside the plastic, and I thought it looked crappy. The fold lines looked bad, but they might have gone away over time. I went with a race-deck floor instead and am very happy. I also bought one of the above mentioned plastic sheets ( 1 car size) and during wet seasons put it under one of the daily drivers to catch the dirty water, and then can pull it out on the drive to clean.

 

I never understood these things........you're spending money on this product designed to keep your garage floor clean...........why don't you buy a pad to put over the car pad to keep the car pad clean...........just kind of wierd in my book. spray out your garage once a month, end of problem.

 

for the price of the pad, you could probably put a hot water spigot in the garage.

 

Oil and fluids can make a new concrete garage floor look bad fast. It makes the garage look scuzzy and when you go to sell your house can be a turn-off. It's much cheaper and easier to remove the covering than to re-pour your garage floor.

I like larger area coverings better and might do my garage with those. The yellow carpads look trashy, IMO.

Having lived in Cleveland and Chicago before moving to San Diego, I can tell you that hosing out an unheated garage in Jan-Feb-March up north is a bad and dangerous idea, as Jerry said. Ice.
