Original design was for large farm animals and we have repurposed the mats to save our concrete floors. The only downfall is they are not all created equal in size and surface.
Used scrap wood laying around and put together two separate storage units that are about 5’ long. They are dual level. I even store medicine balls below
FBMP find that filled the need. I couldn’t get full range of motion and you have to load plates evenly for it to slide on the guide rails. I did make a modification where I cut the top piece and bent it up. Then braced it with angle brackets. I love it with this set up.
Really these get a bad rap but I love these plates. Most of mine are within .1 of said weight. I got most from a local high school that was getting rid of their plates.
