Buying Guide
Which Cover Weight Do I Need?
| Cover Weight | Recommended Use | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 22 oz | Moderate use, approximately 6–12 events per year | Most schools seeking a balance of durability and value |
| 27 oz | Regular use, approximately 12–24 events per year | Multi-use facilities with busy event calendars or heavier traffic |
When choosing a weight, consider the number of non-athletic events held each year as well as the amount of foot traffic, chairs, tables, carts, and equipment expected during those events.
Sizing Your Floor Cover
| Planning Step | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Measure the coverage area | Determine the width and length of the athletic surface or event area you want to protect |
| Plan for overlap | Allow approximately 6"–12" of overlap between adjoining 10' wide sections |
| Allow working space | Avoid covering completely wall to wall so there is room for the storage rack and installation access |
| Check bleacher positions | Measure based on whether retractable bleachers will be extended or retracted during use |
| Account for obstacles | Consider columns, stages, entryways, and other areas that may require a different layout or separate runners |
| Select roll lengths | Custom lengths are available, although rolls longer than 120' are not recommended because they become more difficult to move and store |
Care & Maintenance
Clean Before Storage
Remove dirt, spills, and debris before rolling the sections onto the storage rack. A brush assembly can help clean each section as it is wound.
Make Sure Covers Are Dry
Allow wet or recently cleaned sections to dry thoroughly before storage.
Roll Instead of Fold
Store sections on a GymGuard rack whenever possible. Repeated folding can create creases and make the covers more difficult to lay flat.
Protect During Storage
Use a rack cover to help keep stored sections clean and ready for the next event.

Shipping & Delivery
Important Delivery Information: GymGuard Floor Covers and GymGuard Storage Racks ship on 10' long pallets. Freight carriers will not have a forklift on the delivery truck, so delivery to a loading dock is strongly recommended. If a loading dock is not available, alternative unloading arrangements should be made before delivery.
The shipment may be unpacked while still on the truck, but individual rolls can weigh up to 250 lb depending on the selected size and fabric.
