UPDATE on Low cost garage tile

Quick update...so tonight i decided to lay one tile down to test. Cleaned up the section, peeled and placed the tile down. Moved the car in and turned the tire left & right. It did not move or bend. Here are some pictures..

that looks like the 18x18 squares from lowe's.. i installed that in my office.. "workspace" it is holding up nicely.. there are some issues with scuffs and gouges..

i wonder how it would last under a car ? floor jack ?
ouch

would a thicker ,,,, glue down type be stronger. ?

i want to do my garage.. i love the
deck system and other locking type.. but .. wow.. $$$$$

LET US KNOW HOW IT WORKS OUT .

Good test!

Next let's get a jack stand, and see if it makes an impression? :oo:

Then we'll let the clutch out at about 4k?

Well, maybe not.

I agree, A floor jack or jack stand stand will definitely put dents/marks in it.
