Racedeck- free flow or solid tiles?

[snorvet]

I have 3 car garage in northern Illinois with a peeling painted floor. The floor has no floor drain and very little slope, resulting in winter slop that needs to swept out. Would free flow or solid tiles be best in this situation?

I also I have a pontoon boat that I store in the garage during winters on 2 - 16 foot dollies having 6 casters each. I'd say each solid caster supports about 150 lbs in 1 or 2 sq inches. I'm wondering how well free flow or solid tiles would support this weight. I also wonder how easy it would be to push the boat across the ridges of the free flow tiles. It's easy to push the boat around on concrete, but I'm concerned about moving it over racedeck.

Best bet, call Racedeck and tell them these conditions, see what they have to say. Yes, they are there to sell tiles, but from everything I've heard around this forum, they'll give you the straight dope. After all, they don't want ticked off customers.

Steve is right. If you were going to use Racedeck- you should call them first.

That's a tough one. Either way the moisture will find its way under the tiles and you'll have to let it evaporate. I'm not sure Racedeck is a good choice period.

You could buy a smaller pad of racedeck free flow or diamond to see how we'll your boat can move across it and withstand the weight and handle winter slop. Maybe 20 sq.feet of 3 dollar tile is a relatively small cost to do some research on a $1500+ floor. If it doesn't work out you can sell the lot on Craigs list OR put the pad under your workbench or gym equipment or something creative. You can buy it on bigfloors.com or racedeck and ask for a GJ discount.
