| Good cheap rug to protect hardware floors for multicade and two pins? |

Getting a multicade and two pinball machines in the future. Wife has approved converting our formal (and unused) dining room into an arcade. It's got hardware floors. What cheapish-type rug would you recommend for protecting the floor? We don't have fancy tastes. Walmart and/or hardware store rug remants would be fine. Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post to. Wasn't sure which one to choose, e.g. it ain't about woodworking. |

Oops. Subject should of course say "hardwood floors" and not "hardware floors." Guess my brain is elsewhere this morning. |

Instead of a rug, just use some furniture sliders. They make felt ones specifically for hardwood. |

+1 on the sliders. I wish I had hardwood under my pins, I would slide save a lot more balls and strain my wrists less. If you have to get a rug, you're going to want to go local, 5x7" sounds good but too heavy to ship. Lowes, home depot, any carpet store, wal mart, etc. all have decent cheap ones. If you're really cheap/size specific get a remnant from a carpet store and pay them ~$1/lf to bind the edges and make it into a custom sized rug. |

Thanks Yak and Top. I'll look into sliders. |
