    We found that we needed to put a 2x4 on top of the mat before smacking with the sledge hammer. Without it, the prongs would bend over and cause the mat to dimple. That said, great idea. We ended up using smaller mending plates than you show and they probably don't work quite as well but were certainly easier to install. Thanks for the video!

    Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!

    Wow great idea. I bought 6 mats today from Tractor Supply. I have them in the drive way baking in the sun. I pressure washed them with Simple Green and will leave them in the sun for a week or maybe two flipping them over half way to bake the other side. They reek horribly and I want them to hopefully off gas outside before I put them in my house and it smells like a tire factory until New Years. I will be going to Lowes to get these plates to hold them in place once I get them in the house. These things are gawd awful heavy to move around so I think they will be a great long term solution for a gym floor in my home. Thank you!

    I though this sounded awesome but I had no luck. The mending plates wouldn't penetrate the mats, so either my local menards has really shitty mending plates or my local farm and fleet had unreasonably sturdy mats

  • @MucaroBoricua
    @MucaroBoricua 2 роки тому +1

    Instead of mending plates I used gorilla black tape, sticky-side up. I applied a line of tape (gluing only half of the width of the tape) along two adjacent sides of each tile, then positioned tiles so a side with no tape would fall on the tape on the side of another tile, just like interlocking tiles go together. My method takes more time and effort but does not destroy the tiles or make a noticeable bulge where the corners meet.
