Be careful if you’re building a pit for vehicles. The foams listed here are very similar the same ones that allowed the Red Bull pit in L.A. to burn up.

I may be interested in some blocks of foam. I would really like to hear if there is any that is treated for outdoor use with a roof of course but the possibility of them getting wet is probably inevitable, so I would like to plan ahead for this.
Can any one help?

I am a gym owner in Enid, Ok. I have a small gym that consists of 87 kids right now. I would like to get back to coaching competitive gymnastics one of these years.
I have a corner of the gym gym that would make a good pit corner…but need help on where and how to start one. There is tile down right now with concrete underneath…I need someone’s help…please!!!
