I'm currently running some cheap anti fatigue foam sheeting on my deck, but it has broken down due to the Sun and now whenever you touch it, it turns you completely black. It's about worn out too. In the boat itself, I have those heavy anti fatigue mats that lock together and have a million holes in them. They too are breaking down from the sun and are just a PITA due to their weight, coming loose, etc.
I'm considering biting the bullet and going to all hydro turf, but it seem after digging through the old posts here, there were quite a few who claimed the stuff wore out in a couple of years. I also saw some guys once had some issues with crumbling, but that was supposedly a bad batch.
My question is this, if you have HydroTurf, has it been durable for you? What size did you install? I see the 1/8" foam (3mm) in their closeout section in 45x84" sheets for $49, I would need 5 of those for a total of $250. The other option I am considering is the 1/4" foam (6mm) that comes in 47x86" sheets for $79, again I need 5 for a total of $400.
That's a lot of damned money for some foam BUT if it wears like iron, doesn't break down in the sun and I won't have to mess with it for a long time, I am willing to make the leap. If not, I might as well just glue down some cheap foam and plan on redoing it every 2 or 3 years like I have now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use this boat duck hunting too and I have to have something better than what I have now. Thanks!!!
