Source of black rubber mat ?

[Boo2]

Hi,

I want to line my new anchor locker with black rubber mat when it is built and wondered if anyone here knows a supplier of something suitable ?

Thanks,

Searching 'black rubber mat' on Ebay comes up with options...... Would Sir like the ribbed one?

One of those door mats made of bits of rubber linked together ...... Probably not the wire linking would corrode as I doubt if it is anything better than galvanised steel wire.


A piece of conveyor belt would be good. The bit I have is about 5/16" thick. Came from one of the old coal fired power stations.

I lined my anchor locker with old conveyor belting, don't know of a supplier in the UK but I have lots left over but I am a bit far away.

Don't know where you are based but if near East Coast (Ipswich/Norwich)

Walker Rubber & Plastics will have what you want plus some.

I was looking at this site the other day: http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/shopping.asp?intDepartmentId=9#60

Not cheap though.

I did exactly this. Bought two rubber door mats from 'The Range' store and cut them to shape. Joined the two parts with black cable ties. The mats I ended up with were a thick black rubber honeycomb design (probably an inch thick) which should offer good drainage but plenty of protection. I think they cost around £5.50 each.
