RaceDeck to act as a moisture barrier?

[dtbingle]

My current garage floor is pretty old, cracked, sagging in some areas, and worst of all, seems to allow moisture to seep up through it during wide temperature swings. Properly sealing and insulating the garage along with a concrete repour with a moisture barrier included would be the best way to correct this problem, however I may not be here that long and who knows how long until a proper concrete pour at the new place will happen.

In the meantime, I was hoping to lay down a barrier underneath some of my equipment (toolbox, compressor, blast cabinet, etc) to limit the amount of moisture that evaporates from directly underneath it and keep it somewhat protected. Yes, a plastic sheet would work, but I'd like something nicer on the eyes.

Would something like the RaceDeck Diamond style flooring work as an adequate moisture barrier between my equipment and the wet concrete?

I'd put some type of barrier between the concrete and the racedeck, preferably like a large plastic sheet that you could tape down all the way around to make it "airtight." Then the racedeck on top of that. Otherwise I'd be concerned about a potential mold issue.

If it's not puddling up why not use landscape fabric and free flow tile. It'll be able to breathe and dry out when needed, instead of trapping it.

Yeah, but when it dries out and evaporates, it'll go directly up onto my equipment. Plan to set up a circulating or ceiling fan to keep the air moving, but also trying to separate the bottom of my equipment from moisture on the ground.

But along that same line, maybe something like this under free flow tiles instead of the landscape fabric.
