I keep waiting to find some fiberglass waffleboard on sale near me for use as sand ladders, but never seem too. Meanwhile, all sorts of variations and alternatives turn up. I've got a 4.5 ton van, so I need either something strong, or flexible...like the carpet and burlap sacks (filled with sand) I use now.
Anyway, I saw some of this stuff at a construction site and finally remembered to search for it: http://www.floorandmatstore.com/store/p/124-DuraDeck1-BLACK.aspx
Turns out it's HDPE (like your cutting board). I always thought it would be slippery, but I guess not if they're using it for decking. Not too pricey, and VERY beefy. Maybe too much, 4x8 is 87 lbs, so a pair of ramps is 43.5 lbs. But on the other hand with that kind of strength it can be used for other things. Might make a nifty skid plate for instance. Or bumper guard.
Anyone ever try this stuff? Or work with it, as in is it cutable without too much hassle? like with a sawsall?
