Shed Floor
Reply with quote Thanks

I have a new shed with a wooden floor. I would like to protect to floor with some type of matting.

Would this be OK for use in a shed?

My worry is that by putting the foam down inside could I create a damp problem where condensation could form under the foam.
That being said the shed is on bearers and there is free air travel from under the shed.

Any thoughts?

Many Thanks

What are you protecting the floor from? cheap hardboard is one option as it can be replaced easily and cheaply especially if you were to spill liquids on it.

Mainly just from foot traffic in the shed, must also be washable with a damp cloth if it get muddy.

I have purchased the foam floor matting now so will see how it goes.

Thanks for all the help.
