I have two greenhouses and they both have the same flooring. First I spread a 2-3 " layer of mulch. I prefer cypress mulch simply because it lasts longer, but any hardwood mulch would work fine. I then covered this with a heavy-duty, vinyl cloth that I puchased from The Greenhouse Catalog. It comes in different pre-cut sizes and is black. It is tough as nails. I just pinned the edges every few feet with fabric staples which can be purchased from this store or from a big-box store such as Lowes. That's it. You end up with a soft, comfortable, durable walking/standing surface, that is porous to water. It has been ideal. My first floor is now 3 years old and looks like new.

I hope this helps you. Also check Greenhouse Megastore to compare prices for flooring and shade cloth, which both of my greenhouses have to have.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
