There are all kinds of sheds. Usually built in the back yard, a shed can be a small storage structure, a larger project room, or even a ‘she-shed’ – women’s answer to the man cave. Whatever you use your shed for, you need to make sure you pick the right shed floors to keep it in top condition. Choose your shed flooring wisely to create the ultimate versatile outdoor structure.
The maintenance of a shed will present some tough challenges. These are usually standalone structures made from wood and built outdoors in the yard. With only thin wooden walls separating your shed interior from the elements, you need shed floors which are going survive exposure to dirt and moisture. Many sheds are built with wooden or concrete flooring, but these are not especially effective. Rubber shed flooring, on the other hand, is about as good as it gets. It will provide a water-resistant base which is not damaged by leaks, condensation, or trampled-in moisture. This will prevent your shed floors from rotting or falling into disrepair.

Many sheds are used for storage. You might keep your lawn mower, gardening gear, tools or yard furniture inside to keep it safe and dry. This means that a shed floor has to be able to cope with large weights, scrapes and abrasions. Rubber shed floors excel in handling these issues. Rubber is dense but pliable, allowing it to absorb shocks, impacts and heavy weights. It is also physically tough and abrasion resistant. Use rubber shed floors for a durable surface solution which is built to survive storage challenges.
Aside from storage structures, sheds can also be used as workshops or project spaces. These creations will also be best served by rubber shed flooring, for a whole range of reasons beyond the floor protection required in storage sheds. If you have a hobby shop, man cave or she shed setup, you need it to be comfortable. Wood and concrete outdoor floors can be cold, hard and unpleasant to spend any time on, and that is not going to encourage you to work inside. Rubber shed floors on the other hand are warm and insulating. Rubber will not conduct the cold in the same way concrete will, making it an excellent choice for a structure which may not be well insulated. A rubber shed floor will also provide more cushioning and be far more comfortable to stand or walk on when compared to other surfaces. If you are going to spend hours at a workbench, a padded rubber floor is a necessity to ease the strain and fatigue you will feel.

Heavy Duty Protection: If anyone has any doubts about how thick and durable these mats are, they only need to take one good look at them. These thick mats are designed to be used for heavy-duty applications. For example, if they are used as gym equipment mats, they will easily absorb the shock and pressure of heavy weight equipment being placed on them without suffering a scratch. Better yet, the floors underneath these heavy-duty mats will also be secure from damage.
Designed for Traction: All across the surface of this 4 x 6 rubber mat is a unique honeycomb design. The purpose of this design is to provide a better grip and more traction for feet. More traction means more safety and a far lower likelihood of slipping and falling. Rubber itself provides more traction for feet, but when it is formed into this design, this mat’s anti-slip quality significantly and noticeably improves.
Good shed floors are not just about comfort. Rubber shed flooring will also boost traction and provide an easy-maintenance area. A material like concrete might become slippery when wet – far from ideal in a structure which might be prone to the odd leak. In contrast, rubber has a high coefficient of friction and offers high levels of grip, even when wet. This is especially important when you might be surrounded by sharp tools or equipment. Rubber will also provide superb durability against wear. In addition, a rubber shed floor will also be easy to clean and maintain. If you have ever owned a shed, you know how important a factor this is. Being outdoors, you are bound to get muck and dirt tracked into your shed. You need a surface which can easily be rinsed off and wiped down, and rubber shed floors provide just that.
We have shed flooring available which is made of varying forms of rubber, as well as PVC. A PVC shed floor would be especially effective if it will be exposed to spilled greases or oils, perhaps from a ride-on lawn mower or workshop project, or gardening chemicals. PVC possesses good resistant to such substances for an especially durable base.
