Flooring type advice

[lostfido]

Looking for ideas/suggestion as far as flooring for my mezzanine in my pole barn. Only used for storage (mostly bins) but I would like to keep it under 1/2 in thickness or headroom becomes an issue. Hopefully something I can DIY, I may do the main floor with Polyurea but I would contract it out.

I would probably just put down a couple coats of alkyd paint... or VCT tile would be next on the list

Maybe paint it. Otherwise don't do anything.

I would put painting it on the to do list but in all honesty, probably wouldn't do anything. It won't see much traffic if it's just storage.

What's the budget for this? Do you want something decorative or just something to protect the wood? Interlocking garage tiles are a great option, but they are more expensive than simply painting the wood. They are easy to install, and most are 1/2" thick. However, Nitro offers a 3/8" thick alternative. You can check out our list of top vendors with the best pricing here.

Id like to stay at around $2-2.50 a square foot, I kinda blew the budget when I built this place already
I'll look into these a little closer----thanks

Sand it and poly it. (Or put some nicer 1/2 ply on top, and sand and polyurethane that.)

Probably going to get my head handed to me but I might consider a long LVT tile for that space. Cheap, weather resistant, easier to keep clean and will look decent even if its just for storage. Looks great BTW. Good luck.
