Just a few notes to add that are not mentioned in my video: 1. A great thing about my mat is that it is very easy to take it all apart and transport it. This mat design is the best for personal home use. 2. Puzzle mats could be used instead of the wrestling mat, I just prefer a wrestling mat. 3. Problems you might run into is the duct tape coming off of the 2 by 4 wood pieces so make sure to use a lot of tape or re-tape underneath.... and another issue is with the carpet padding coming unglued from the plywood. I suggest stapling the first carpet padding to the plywood and then using the multi-purpose glue to glue the other carpet padding pieces to each other. let me know any other ideas you all have or any questions

I really like this. Although I was a little disappointed to find you already had actual wrestling mats. I thought it was going to be from scratch. Anyway, if I ever get the space for this, I'll definitely build this.

I was thinking the same thing.🤔

The padded 2x4 frame was a great idea. I’ve been fighting with a good system to keep my mats in place. Going to definitely use your set up! Really appreciate the video. Well done man!

Awesome video man. Just bought my sons a 12x12 mat for the house and had no idea how I was going to set it up. Now I know. Thank you.

Can't wait to get something like this set up. Thank you so much!

Thank you brother helped me out a lot! Aloha from Hawaii!! 🤙🏼

This is awesome keep up the good work

Killer video man! I know ya dont post anymore but your content is awesome.

Good job kid!! & you seem like a good guy!! Great vid for my kids to watch!!

Great video and a well done project! I found this to be very helpful, thank you!

I wish had a garage to put this in and not worry about weather and elements messing it up. I so wanna build this!

Nice video and he makes it seem very easy, which I believe it would be. He also seems like a nice guy, he gives off that kind of vibe.

Great video. Very helpful and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!!!

Thank Yo this was really informative and entertaining.

Bro this is such a good video and exactly what I was looking for. My basement is going to be a savage coliseum now

@fairshanks you seem like the chillest down to earth dude. awesome vid!

awesome video! I have roll away mats 10X10 but once I have my garage situated I would rather have em in a more permanent spot like this. Also the extra padding is gonna help for the throw drills

Great video. Thanks for the upload

Great video bud. Wish I could do some grappling with you on that mat.

awesome brother. I might have to do this for me and my boys...

Great vid bro

Thanks for the vid bro!

Informative video bro..good man👍

The end was cool 😎👍💯

Thanks a lot man!

that is awesome

WTH YOU HAVE THE WRESTLING MAT ALREADY

I would highly suggest joining your wood frame with pocket hole screws if you have access to them.

Thanks.

Pretty good friend. Try to get a vinyl tarp from harbor freight for a top cover. That’s what I about to try.

great vid..question i have old school thick wrestling Ju Jitsu mats, with velcro ends, they got water damage from storage all winter, was wondering how can i safely salvage them for re-use? any suggestions would be great!! they now look in rough shape, can i dry them out...by sun? what would u do...

Thank you sir

like the video, cool at home set up for sure. Breakfalls need work though, no point hitting the mat with your hand after you already landed.

great video, I love homemade training gear. I have tons of ideas myself, one day I'll get around to making videos or even a book.

what size is your mat? Also can you do flips on it and would it cushion a failed flip or crash? Is it also hard enough to do handstands and some break dancing power moves?

What's the thickness of the wrestling mat you purchased? That would make a good deal of difference as to the necessity of carpet padding underneath I would think. I have some 2 inch thick wrestling mat on order right now, but it seems like most of what I see out there is and inch and a quarter. Nice vid. Thanks!

The mat is 1 ⅜” thick. and I think I have 2 inch or 1 1/2 inch of carpet padding. How much padding you want just depends on the amount of comfort you want and if you will be doing take downs/throws on it. But carpet padding is a cheap way to get more padding. Thanks

I don't know if you would know or not, but how thick should the mat and the padding be if you're planning to practice something as intense as Catch Wrestling or something to that affect? Thanks in advance if you can help but if not, have a terrific day!

Probably at least 4 inch thick for mat and carpet padding combined thickness

Great video bro! How much did you invest in total more or less if you remember..? Thank you

So where do you get a top part, the circled one?

can you use the wrestling mat by itself? without building everything else?

What about moisture under the plywood?

Will this method work if the floor is not level? My garage is not perfectly level and I'm worried the 2x4s or Plywood not laying flat will cause problems.

Use velcro strips to hold it down maybe

Why only three layers of carpet padding? More the better right? So why not put 5 or so layers?

What is the mop brand, if you have it handy. Just got some wrestling mats and I need a way to clean them effectively.

Make sure you swiffer dust them first though, one of those disposable ones. Probably you could reuse it a few times, but its good to get any hair or dust off that the mop might just run over. but still need the mop too with chemical cleaning agent

How are your mats holding up? Any updates or learnings you would like to pass on about their construction?

@Fairshanks

Unfortunately I had to move for work and where I am at right now I don't have space to roll them out, so they are in storage. I did notice the duck tape falling off of the wood frames and also the carpet padding coming off of the floor boards. I would recommend finding an alternative to duck tape like drilling in some kind of soft rubber bumper padding and also maybe stapling in the carpet padding with some kind of industrial staple or maybe even screwing them in with a wide surface washer and screw.

What size is that ?
