Containment Mat for Snow Ice Water and Mud -Garage Floor Mat (7'9"x16')

I bought the largest size for my Silverado truck. This is the second year using it with no leaks or major issues with quality. I put some heavy plastic under the mat for protection from small imperfections in the concrete floor. The mat is about 3 feet in total longer than the truck with is perfect. I did not use the adhesive pads included so occasionally the mat bunches up a little just in front of the rear wheels. It is not been an issue. I just pull the mat tight once in a while. I live in Minnesota with tons of salt and water that melts onto the mat. I just sweep it out the door occasionally. I do not turn the front wheels while the truck is rolling onto or off the mat. It is supposed to help prevent leaks. I would definitely buy this item again. During the summer I just fold up the mat and store it.

Kept the snow and ice off of my garage floor. Squeegee was useless. Just used my shop vac to suck up the water.

I live in Northwest Colorado and drive a crazy number of miles in the winter. My car picks up unbelievable amounts of ice and road grime. Since my garage does not have a drain and is heated, the melt completely overtakes the entire garage! I purchased this knowing all the pros and cons as I had one in a previous rental. I made sure to get the size large enough that I don’t have to be crazily precise when parking. It catches 99% of the mess. When the pad starts getting full-ish and the weather does not allow me to pull it out of the garage to clean it, a small amount of spillage happens as I drive onto and off of it close to the garage door. It’s kind of a pain to clean…I wait until a decent day and carefully pull it out onto the driveway. I use my heavy duty garage broom to push all the mud and melt to the end of the pad and then vigorously push it over and out of the pad. In the summer I pull it out and spray it down to clean it. It does tend to “creep “ a little since the means to attach it to the garage floor never works. I just continue to adjust it as needed. It’s cumbersome to get out and down in the beginning, so grab a friend to help. Once down, it’s easy to slide into place as needed. If you are a clean freak in a warmer climate, this might be for you as well.

Does the intended job

Our shed has a wood unsealed floor and we needed something so when the kids were bringing the four wheelers in and out or bikes during winter times of the year that they were coming in without ruining the floor. This works perfectly for that plan to pull in a vehicle at some point but have not done that will update the review at that time.Arrived on time wonderfully at our front door.

THESE WORK AWESOME! There are cheaper ones but reviews reflected that cheaper wasn't better. You want to pay a but more for the heavier, more durable plastic material. Does exactly what they are supposed to do. I am so happy I bought these as I have a dry garage this year. Hols a lot of melted snow and mud. Comes with sticky velcro adhesive patches but I don't have a sealed floor so i additional bought the recommended double sided industrial sticky tape and it really secured these to the floor.Pull in and let the ice and snow melt. Then pull out and the Included squeegee that you mound to any broom handle,(can put on opposite end of push broom) and push all water out or use a wet dry vac. Then drive back into the tray. Assembing: just unfold and lay out on pre-cleaned, moped , then thoroughly dried surface, ( I just looked at my existing tire tracks to mark where they go) and place it out to unwrinkle. Then I put sticky vecro pads in place and let plastic further "relax" and smoothed out wrinkles for a few days. My first one I didn't do this, 2nd one laided out better so have patience and let fold lines smooth out. I did it myself but have a 2nd person help you very slightly stretch and pull it but not too much because you don't want tension wrinkles either. Use squeegie to smooth out too. Get in place and then adhere to floor. You will be impressed with how much water and mud these hold. You literally can have a shallow pond with how much these hold. Super impressed with these . The edges are a foam poles thread into long pockets so you can drive over without issue. Just drive perfectly in middle and make sure you aren't on the foam pole edges as water may escape but I have never encountered that issue and I never drive in straight into my garage. Get larger size if an SUV to give yourself a bigger area but my Volvo xc60 has a good foot and half on each side and 3 -4 feet extra for front and back and I got the 2nd largest size. For a compact car and small SUV, the smallest size will work.

heavy mat held cup through season one, just laid it back out for season two. winter here has lots of snow so this got a lot of use. swept off the melted snow down the length of the mat and out of the garage. held up well, no rips or tears. Sweeping water off takes a coordinated effort in stages but nothing major.I am happy I got it.
