Garage sim mat storage

[koneyislandclubworks]

Hi everyone!

My garage sim is almost done and one of the last pieces is how to store the 5x5 hitting mat. I've done some reading here and see that the most common option is to build the mat into a frame and hang/store the entire piece.

I was wondering if anyone has used something like this before?

It looks like a great option, but I'd love to hear from those more experienced than me.

Thanks!!

I kept it simple, I put two 6 inch screws angled into wall studs 48 inches apart and drilled two holes in the mat to match it. Hangs on the wall in seconds. Mine being also 5x5, the holes are 6 inches from the mat corners and about inches down.

I've thought about the same thing, but I'm worried about the mat tearing over time?
