Portable Dance Floor

Last year I wanted to put a dance floor outdoors on the concrete next to my swimming pool.  So, I bought a 12x14 ft piece of vinyl (linoleum) at home depot for around $50.  By the end of the summer it was pretty beat up and I had to throw it away.

This year I looked for something better which would meet the following criteria:

  1. Easy to install
  2. Lightweight
  3. Attractive
  4. Weatherproof
  5. Provide “give” or “cushion” like a wood floor

Dance DeckVarious products and dealers exist (try a Goggle search).  For my needs I settled on a product made by Dance Deck—which I am very satisfied with.  Each vinyl piece costs about $5 (plus shipping), is 1 sq ft, 5/8 in thick, and weights less then 2 lbs.  The squares come in four different colors and easily snap together without any special tools. 

I bought the product from a dealer on line called Sports Products Plus.   The owner, Dan (866-427-1178) was very helpful and responsive in providing me with a sample and getting my shipment out quickly.
