Mats are an expensive up-front cost, and at first glance may seem too costly to invest in. In the longer-term, however, mats make a lot of financial sense. Check out the following table:

mats vs plywood costs

* $73 is the current price of ¾’’ plywood at Home Depot. Assuming ¾’’ plywood lasts 4 projects and needs to be replaced 3 times per season

With mats you will break even after about 9 projects. After that the mats start saving you not only the cost of buying plywood but also the hassle of buying and disposing the plywood.

Additionally, with the and increasing inflation and prices of plywood rising every season the investment into mats early on seems even more beneficial.
