Ideas for used rubber equipment track
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:04:59 AM »
Looking for more ideas on worn out rubber equipment tracks. I have access to more than a few. Dimentions are about 10 foot long and 20 inches wide. So far some friends have suggested planters, sidewalk sections, building reinforcement (they only stop low velocity rounds dependably). Also about 280 - 350 pounds apiece. Fairly easy to cut with the right tools though. What would you all do with a stack of these things? Oh yeah I'm still alive. Sites looking good too, it's been a while.

Colombo, I will spend my day thinking about it but I dare to suggest that you've got some great ideas so far. Raised beds out be quick and easy!

Raised beds, protection for the bottom of chicken coops/animal cages, garden/walk edging, flooring (don't know if it's soft/bouncy) for rec room/gym.

Use them as a sidewalk instead of concrete or stepping stones. Don't forget to make sure the side with the ridges goes down.
