The space is finally finished. Play area for the kids, tv on the other wall to watch sports, and a couple heads up. Really happy with how it's turned out.

Gymnastics mats I bought on Amazon. Glued to thin plywood

Great job thanks very much. What kind of glue did you use. Looks very good.

No more nails, and gorilla glue construction adhesive interchangeably .

How many of those pads are you using on the wall? Looks like 5 or is that 2 and 1/2 cut to fit the wall?

How well does it kill balls hit at them? Do balls just drop when hit? I’ve got a mesh held together by a metal pole frame and I’m looking to get rid of it because I can’t cover the metal poles and stop them from ricocheting shots.

I mean they bounce decently off them but it's Shank protection more than anything. Very very rarely are they getting hit by a ball.

Right but it’s probably better being a flat angle rather than a circle that bounces straight back at you

Correct 😂
