I use the mats that come on sale from PA, catches about 99.9% in the holes followed by a quite vac.
Do you mean these? I thought the holes were a bad think to have debris stuck but maybe like you said it's a good thing for the basement setup to contain debris.
Are these tough into to take point loads from like a 4-legged stool? I imagine one of the foots can press between the holes and tear into the "web" structure.
Roofing nails are aluminum for the most part these days.
All mine are steel. And they love tires.

We have two of them, also males.
Two? Lucky guy. We'd love another but our little guy has lots of anxiety issues. He would not do well with competition for my wife's attention.
Porties rock. Although I always smile when I think how smart and mischievous they can be. I can't count the number of times I've had to relate how this happened, or that happened, always prefaced by the phrase, "Sadly, he was unattended at the time..".
An unsupervised Portie is never a good idea, but always an entertaining one.
Lego...yeah. That stuff is sooooo comfortable when you step on it in socks at 3 AM.
Nice. That's some great planning you put into your shop.I sectioned off, and walled one corner of my basement for light woodworking and assembly and disassembly of jobs. The room is 12'x12'. It has one double window to let light in. I sealed the concrete floor, then added 1" thick rigid insulation, taped all the seams, put 3/4" T&G plywood on top, drove concrete screws through to prevent the plywood from shifting, then put 3/4" thick 3'x4' rubber mats down. If you're going to be standing all day, take care of your feet and back. The walls which share the exterior are insulated and with moisture barrier. I attached 3/4" plywood to all the walls so I can easily attach anything to them. Heavy stuff gets attached to the studs. I ran 1/2" EMT conduit on the wall surfaces with plenty of 20amp outlets. I have 6 fluorescent fixtures (12- 4' tubes). (I do a lot of small intricate operations, so I need plenty of light.) NB. I have no shag carpeting
BTW, I know I can die now because I never thought I'd live long enough to see the phase "I have no shag carpeting," and a signature line that quotes Thomas Carlyle in the same post. Personally I Iove his writing, especially Sartor Resartus, but you rarely encounter anyone else who knows of him. He was a Scottish bad*ass, and I like to picture him in the Scottish countryside, screaming at a bunch of kids, "GET OFF MY MOOR."
Hey, that's infinitely preferable to stepping on one in a soft cushy chocolate wrapping.

We lost our portie about 5 years ago, after 16 years. Still not over it, but also in doggie withdrawal.
If you get another one John, I vote you call it “Rigger.”
