what's the cheapest way to create outdoor flooring ontop of grass please?
May 19, 2008 by Kay M | Posted in Garden & Landscape
i have kids and need a large space to play and entertain guests as well. money is a huge factor so im looking for an inexpensive way to create a large space (about 20x20 or bigger) i will be putting this ontop of grass also or if need be, would have to put something down for flooring. please help
the cheepest thing that will look good (other than sheets of plywood put on the ground) is to build a deck, and at about $12 USD a square foot your looking at $4800 USD. A concrete slab would run $13 or $14 USD a square foot.

What is wrong with playing/entertaining on grass? You have floors indoors, they are not, (in-spite of what some make-over programs would have you believe), essential outside.
For really cheap, buy some plastic- or reed- matting and lay it straight over the grass; an old carpet would do for a year, perhaps two. If it has to be flat, shuttering-ply is relatively cheap, and should last a couple of years.

Does anyone have any ideas for temporary outdoor flooring to cover dirt for a party that I am having tomorrow?
Sep 01, 2007 by David D | Posted in Garden & Landscape
I was hoping my new grass would be grown by now and I need room for people to eat without getting dirty.
'helpme' is right, "kiss your grass goodbye", grab a used roll of carpet from a carpet store dumpster. You might even find a piece that is color coordinated. If not flip it upside down so the natural jute backing shows. RScott

Outdoor flooring for second floor porch?
Dec 22, 2008 by GracePoole | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have a two-story colonial that was built in 1925. There is a second story "sleeper" porch that is not enclosed and has a small opening at the bottom center for water drainage. Currently, the flooring is some sort of material that's slate blue in color, can be pulled up from the corners, and overall is in rough shape. It seems to be a common flooring choice for the second floor porches in my area. I'd like to update the porch. What kind of flooring options do I have?
Concrete? That sounds extremely heavy for the sort of space I have.
How about natural tiles? They are weather worthy and should last a really long time. Shouldn't be too costly and you can do it yourself to save labor charges.

What's a good website to browse outdoor/patio flooring?

I want to see options of flagstone, sandstone, slate, etc., preferably with prices. I've been looking for a while now and can't find anything.

Flooring for an outdoor wooden swingset - fort?
Jul 29, 2007 by blue_eyed_girl | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Looking for an idea on what I could use for the "bottom level" of a wooden swingset. There is a ladder that leads to a deck, but the part underneath is just filled with mulch. I'm going to put 1/2 walls around all 4 sides and add a gate, so it's like a little fort for the kids.
What can I use as the flooring? I was thinking of a wood base, but I would lose 3" of height, and I'm afraid the bees might make a nest underneath.
Any other ideas? Outdoor tiles or rugs? Any webistes you could recommend? Thank you!
You already have the answer. Outdoor tile sounds like it would probably work. Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and check out the selection. If you do not see anything you like, jump over to the lumber section and see what thy have in a treated lumber that would be cost efficient for the project.
