Most Common Product Questions For composite flooring at Greatmats:
Do they offer any cushion? How soft are they?
For an animal, yes.
Are the mats suitable for the entrance to a stable on top of earth
Yes these ring mats can be used outdoor and on top of earth.
Will the mats interlock? my stalls are 12x12. Will take 16 per stall and I have 15 stalls.
This is not really a stall mat per say, these are designed for outdoor use or for wet areas. We recommend solid surface interlocking mats for stall, we also have kits. Please contact customer service.
could these mats be used for portable stall mats such as at shows that have concrete floors ?
Potentially, and we have better portable stalls mats here. http://www.greatmats.com/stall-mats/portable-horse-stall-mats.php
What is the diameter of the holes?
Less than one inch.
I am using these mats over stone dust for my horse stall with shavings on top. This is because I need optimum drainage in my stall. Will this still provide enough comfort for my horse?
Yes this is a very good installation method and will provide comfort to the horse.
How well do these mats hold up when used outside in direct sunlight year-round (annual temp range -5F to 100F)?
With the perforations in these rubber ring mats, we they are best designed for use in indoor and outdoor areas that may have a lot of water on them that needs to leak through. Because they are perforated, they do not hold a lot of heat. These are only to be installed over concrete. They do fade over time in direct sun.
How would these do for stall use with miniature horses? Ground is clay so would put down stone first with sawdust and or straw on top?
Because water will run through the mats, you can choose to install them over a dirt area or over a paved area. If the area beneath the rubber ring mats is not flat and sturdy, water could collect beneath the mats, so you may want to place a layer of gravel between the mats and the dirt to create a flat drainage layer.
What type of glue would you recommend to hold the mats together? Interested in using in a playground environment as a wear-mat under a apparatus. Would be buried under the engineered wood fiber.
A PL Premium polyurethane adhesive is used on our outdoor rubber mats.
Can you cut these mats similar to a traditional rubber horse stall mat? (with a blade). Thank you.
Yes. We recommend using a sharp utility knife for cutting this - with a 2x4 under the mats to allow the cuts to open and reduce friction on the blade as shown in this <a href='/horse-stall-mats/how-to-cut-rubber-mats-for-horse-stall.php'>video</a>.
