It's velcro'd for now but I'll have it bolted soon.
I run studs up and secure it with wing-nuts.

It will stay upright free standing but it will slide a bit when I dock the bike.

The solid stuff is on clearance so I had to go to 4 different stores to buy enough for my project.

Plus since it is a clearance item I bought 6 extra grid tiles and 12 extra solid tiles just for insurance if I break a tile or want to change something up down the road.

Looks nice but raises many questions.

What about using a jack lift or table lift on the tiles? Will they get damaged? Will a jack lift roll on that? How much is that stuff per tile?

I question the same thing.

My thought is if I'm jacking the car on the grid tiles I'll probably place a piece of 1/2" plywood under the jack wheels just to be safe not to damage a tile.

As for the solid, the way the underside is I really don't see a problem with wheels damaging the tiles, but...... I really don't know yet.
That's one reason I bought some extra tiles.

As for cost, the solid tiles were $1.30 sq. ft. and the grid tiles were $1.88.
I did the whole garage (about 425 sq. not counting the 3rd stall) for about $600.
More money than I was expecting to pay however for $600 dollars I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do the whole floor.
