Home Improvement Asked by Golf on April 2, 2021
I have a finished basement with a floor made up of square, 8" ceramic tiles. I have a putting green placed on top of the floor that is made up of interlocking hard plastic modules, each about 2 square feet. The green in total covers about 16′ by 7′. I have tried multiple things to try and create a level surface for the green to sit on, but the settling of the floor over the years has made this impossible. Since the green is modular, and the tiles settle individually AND the whole floor has probably settled over the last 6o years, there is no simple way to create a level surface. Obviously the floor is finished, so I don’t want to pour concrete on top of the tiles. I am hoping someone might have a simple solution for creating a non-permanent level surface that I can rest the green on top of.
Basement floors are not level if they are made right. Throw in larger tiles and there will definitely be some ridges. There is nothing to do to actually fix this permanently, you don't want to because the slope flows to a drain.
I would suggest that you use a trick that old carpenters used to level off subfloors for wood floors - rooftiles (asphalt shingles). The are bigger on one end and the hold well - don't slide. It will be painful to get this just right but I can't think of anything else I would use on something like this other than shingles. Also you can usually pick these up cheap - find an open bag at big box or go to a resale material store and might run you $15.
You will need some heavy duty scissors to cut them and after you get things flat... if your green is still sliding you may still need some weight on it meaning you might have to lay some plywood down first before doing the green.
