Great idea, thanks. Backed right into our garage today which has 2 lips that would have bottomed out my C6. Without this, my car would have had to sit in the elements for several months until the builder paves the whole neighborhood's driveways. Can't have that!
Bro. Asphalt bags are 15 bucks each(prolly only needed like 8-10 here) a PVC pipe for 40 bucks for drainage. Looks 10x better and won’t get dirt, and you can also remove it as well. AND it only takes like 20/30 min, if not less, to do a little section like that
I think I am going to try this. A bridjit piece won't work for me because I don't have a rolled driveway (more like a 1.5" drop from the sidewalk to the street which causes the front of my stock height cars to bottom at the highest part of the sidewalk) plus 2x4s always end up shooting up under the undercarriage of my cars when going over them. Thanks for posting this video...definitely a clever idea with the mats.
We’re these cut in half? Looks like they are in thirds. Looked at Home Depot and they are 36 x 36 and looks like they may be 12” each. Trying to get my corvette down the driveway without scraping. Thanks
Surprised your city lets you leave them out there. I did something similar with 3/4" thick rubber horse stall mat from tractor supply. Had them cut it into 3' long 8" wide strips that I can position/stack/maneuver easily... much easier to use than wooden planks. Since I can't leave them out on the city curb, I have a Tupperware bin behind a tree that I chuck them in. Takes and extra 2 minutes to get in/out, but doesn't cause grief with ordinances.
It stays in place because of the weight of the rubber and they are all connected. Had a good dump of rain and wind recently, and it did not move at all.
@@felem7504 Hello, it is just the rubber floor mats cut in half length wise and double stacked. I then used zip ties, but they did not last against cars going over them. I used bailing wire twisted to hold them together and that worked great.
@@JT-wu2wu It has been over a year now and all the original wire is still in place. I can see the Colorado UV is taking some toll on the rubber, but it is still looking fine.
That just sucks! People make no sense at times. They could make their own for minimal cost! Lazy people that take from others drive me crazy. You work hard and someone comes along and screws you over. Maybe you could anchor the mats, but that is more expense and effort. Sorry again for the idiot that messed with you.
Possibly someone in your neighborhood didn't like having to look at them(?). Wouldn't bother me but people can be... "SELF-motivated" by the smallest things. I'm considering this option too, but I think I would have to consult my neighbors and HOA first to be on the safe side. It would not surprise me if this DIY approach was less acceptable than any commercially available solution simply because it looks less refined. /shrug
Wtf jeez people steal anything even something like this that im 100% sure they did nothing with except screw you out of it. But you should build it again and just pull it out when you need to leave the house and just toss it in the trunk when you leave and come back pull it back out looks like it can fold easily for storage takes an extra 2min to pull em out and take em with you.
