Hi all. Looking for ideas to use as a floor mat for an open air photo booth.
The dimensions of the booth where people will be will probably be about 10' X 10'.
There will be approx 10' wide backdrop on stands at the back and a camera and lights at the front.

The reason I want a floor mat is because I plan to use confetti shooters and a bubble machine and fog machine sometimes. The mat should help with cleanup.
Slipping is a concern. I don't want people falling.
I may also run power cables under it. Sometimes I may mount hair lights on the stands at the rear.

I'm looking at everything from lock together yoga mats at walmart to ideas such as below. Any suggestions?

If the bubble machine doesn't wet the floor, can you just bring a vacuum?

I'd go with the wide rib mat or diamond plate, you can cut them into smaller strips after the shoot and use them to cover cables.
 
Thank you Rob.
I figure I will have to bring a vacuum anyway. :)
From what I'm reading about the Bubble machines if used much they will leave some residue on the floor. Some venues may frown on this. I haven't bought one yet.
I'm not sure what to do yet. Considering a roll of carpet.

If I do put something on the floor I want it to be heavy enough so as not to lift and be a trip hazard. Would like to limit the amount of taping things down I have to do, plus some places don't like using tape on floors. But since this photo booth is a mobile service I don't want it to weigh a ton either.

People can get wild during these things (jumping/dancing/being silly)so I'm trying to think ahead to avoid damage to property and injury to people
