I'm planning to cover my ~30x22 ft garage with the 3/4" thick 4x6 rubber stall mats from Tractor Supply. I’ll need around 28–29 mats total.

It seems like a more cost-effective solution than epoxy, and it would work well for the gym area.

Trying to think through the logistics... has anyone done a large area like this before? Should I order them in phases or just deliver them all at once? I know they need to air out for a while.

Anything else I should consider?

i have, I ordered all at once and let set but mine had sat at the store for so long that they didnt have a smell

big thing is...if you are really worried about mold and its a new house, seal the concrete to form a vapor barrier as the concrete will still be giving off moisture for a while. I never had that problem and really dont now as I just epoxied mine and then put it down.

also think about ordering a puller off amazon. your grip is going to be shot like a mofo

and are you sure its cost effective?

Yes - brand new house.

$1700 to get mats delivered. I need some for the gym portion of the garage and I don't want to do both epoxy and mats.

I am guessing Epoxy will run north of $3-4k. Probably more, but haven't gotten quotes yet out there.
