flood-23 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 i could get some lino and put it on the concrete. how would i keep it flat though ?recon theres anything i could use on grass, i could put lino on grass but need sonething sturdy under it, at least that way i could whack some tent pegs or something through it :P its just there is more grass than concrete therefore more enjoyment :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LivHockey84 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 thats a tough one bro, use something heavier than lino though. like some 3/4 -1 inch plywood that may work cuz it wont flex as much if its on grass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muzza_77 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2010 Why don't you try lino on plywood? get some pretty thick plywood, maybe 12mm then glue the lino on top of it. Keep in mind though it'll feel different to a cement floor. It'll have a 'bouncier' feel to it because of the grass and air underneath it compared to a solid cement floor.
