Re-Using Basketball flooring

[ArtisanFarms]

A local building recycler has a lot of used basketball flooring from an old school.

Has anyone laid this over concrete? I'm looking at some as potential flooring in my wood shop and also in part of the basement.

I seen a retail shop that used old bleacher boards for the flooring.

Define used?

Dialed down and pulled Up?
Glued down and pulled up?
Segementee flooring that floats and cam be locked together (like the stuff they use in convention centers)

Depending on if it is cheap enough, the condition, the type it is....it could be a great deal or a big PITa

It came out of a school that was being taken down and is segmented. I didn't check to see if it was camlock, but it is a maple deck on a frame. The sections look to be about 1 1/2" thick.

Might make a nice bench top

If it’s the same maple they use in bowling alleys that stuffs hard as hell and hard on blades when trying cut it.

End grain or face grain?

If it is segmented it is probably fine to go over concrete as that is how it was installed at the school. If this is in a basement then you still need to make sure potential moisture is addressed.

If it is the modular floor and was cheap enough, I think I would grab it up.
