I went to Softfloor. I have enough to cover the floor of our Magnum Porch. We use them on top of a groundsheet and they provide a lovely warm soft floor in the awning. Very light too. We transport ours in the shower. Yes, they are great.

We have the ones with holes in as we are most often on grass, solid ones are not grass friendly and both types soften up a hardstanding anyway. much lighter than a groundsheet or the breathable awning carpet we bought too.

We bought a pack of really cheap ones to try from Aldi, got them for around £3.99, as they were in bargain section. Found them fine, although we only use them to step out of MH onto if it is a tad muddy, or we are on HS. At that price, they are great. Very lightweight as well, plus we only take how many tiles as we think we will need, in storage box on back of MH.Happy

We bought a load from ALDI as they were £3.99 for 4 mats.  Now we only use 3 or 4 as pain to put down and should not be used on grass as it kills off the grass even though we have the ones with holes in them.

Do I have to use the interlocking mats with holes in them for hard standing pitches, or would I be ok with the cheaper solid rubber mats that Halfords are selling (6 pack for £16/2 packs for £20)?

Thanks

Why do you think you need holes on hardstanding pitches?

You can use whatever you want on HS pitches, it’s the grass pitches that need careful looking after, so the grass doesn’t sour. Some Club HS pitches are not particularly nice under foot, so better to go with something without holes.😁

I bought a load from Halfords a few years ago - they were selling them off at the end of the season.  Only ever used them once and they were useless.  Ok on a perfectly flat surface, but anything else and they just popped open at the joints as you walked on them, creating loads of trip hazards.

What I have used them for, however - and they are brilliant - is lining the locker floors so that all the junk that goes in there doesn't scratch the wooden floor covering.  Easy to lay down and cut to size - so they haven't been wasted. And before anyone asks - no there aren't any 'drop holes' in either of the nearside lockers.
