cheap temporary floor for tent
« on: March 18, 2018, 08:07:38 PM »
crowd sourcing for ideas. need a cheap way to provide some sort of flooring for a tent just for a few days so don't want to spend thousands of dollars. however i need to.cover at least 3,000 sq ft. anyone have any creative or cheap ideas? it can be anything that works just so the floor of the tent is not pavement.

so far the cheapest thing I can come up with is this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012OON790/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_UJVRAbCT3KBHN

which would be a huge pain to put together and still would cost upwards of 1500 for 3000 sq. feet

that was my first idea but ends up not being cheap and very tedious for that much sq. ft.

Ordered this today in the AM on Google Express with 25% off it came by 8pm.
As a deck tiles it is a real good deal.
