TruContain CM7916 Containment Mat For Snow, Mud and Rain, Gray

Excellent service. Arrived on time. Unrolled it inside for 5 days to get some creases out. Heavy material. Sturdy sides. Called the company with the phone number listed on Amazon this Saturday morning and got quick info about what side to put facing down. (Thank you, Tammy.) Recommended: The smooth side is slipperier so put it down so the duller side is up and there is less chance of slipping when walking on it. We'd have gotten it wrong and put the smooth side up since it l looked easier to clean. The squeegee that came with it is a softer, wider material than the squeegees we have and looks like it will work well plus it has an attached clamp with a screw which is nice since none of our other squeegee heads came with a such convenient fastener. We will unroll it, use it, clean it, store it in the spring, and report back later.

I have a flat garage floor and the water from the melted snow on the cars would puddle against the wall. Since I got these mats, I have had no water on the floor. They seem to be made of high quality material. I have not been able to get the wrinkles out of them. I think because they are cold. But the wrinkles don't seem to affect their ability to keep the water of the floor. I would buy them again.

I purchased 2 mats for my pickup trucks, both 9x22. They are sturdy and well constructed. My only issue so far is the mats are so tightly rolled up for shipping, the material takes a set and they do not lie flat. All attempts to flatten them to remove wrinkles and large fold creases have been unsuccessful. So I park over them as is. They are very effective at managing water/snow.

This mat seems to be of high quality and absolutely does the job of containing winter slush. I have a few quibbles which are:1) It can get very slippery when wet -- I'd like to see a future version of this with some texture applied.2) Because of the raised foam edges it doesn't lay completely flat and smooth.3) The raised foam edges it make it tougher to squeegee off. I've had to drag it partially out of the garage and fold under one end to clear it off..

In central NY the snow and sand on the roads gets heavy, this item works amazingly to contain the runoff on the mat and not all over the garage floor - easy to clean up with the included squeegee head - I think it will also be easier to store over the summer as it easily rolls up - I have a Mazda CX5 - a one stall garage and the 16' L fits very well and catches everything. The fabric seems very durable though the mat is not so heavy or clumsy that I can easily move it when needed.

The containment mat seems very sturdy, the material seems thick enough, and so far, it does contain the rain drippings or melted snow, but where I live, there has not been a lot of precipitation, so do not know how it would hold up under heavy snow, rains, or sleet. Purchased the recommended size using the sizing recommendations on the company web site...however, parking in the center of the mat is iffy, and have over or underestimated on several occasions, with the vehicle wheels ending up either on the rim of the containment mat, or on the garage flooring, so the recommended size for most SUVs is still just barely large enough (I have an Explorer, Eddie Bauer edition), so would recommend getting the largest mat offered.

I really like this mat. We've had lots of snow this year, and it's contained the mess and kept my garage clean. It's really nice that they include a squeegee. I've had the same experience as others with the mat not flattening out, but it hasn't been a problem. In a way, it makes it easier to squeegee the water out, as it kind of creates channels for the water. You do need to squeegee the water off frequently if you get a lot of snow.

I bought this item just before the winter set in and it is working as advertised. It definitely holds a lot of water and snow, kept me from having to mop out my garage every day. Now all I do is drag the mats out onto my driveway and hose them off and dry them out and reset them in the garage. The downside do not try to correct your steering while on the mat this will cause it to bunch up. Overall I am happy with this purchase a would recommend it all who live in wet areas.
