I think a mat you can take out and clean would be better than an actual rubber floor.You may run into some condensation problems and rot underneath a permanent rubber floor..
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My current fur shed has a plywood floor. I put down large sheets of cardboard in the skinning/fleshing area. The cardboard that storm doors come in are about 6' x 7' when opened up and that is mostly what I use (I install a lot of storm doors).
I'm building a new shed and was thinking about putting some glue-down sheet vinyl in it.
Eh...wot?

Mine is plywood do some skinning and the stretching and drying in the shop with concrete floor, but still do all my fleshing in the old fur shed with the plywood floor. I get end runs or partial rolls of paper from the local paper mill that have flaws in them. It is plastic coated on one side like freezer paper but as thick and stiff as poster board. No idea what it is actually made and sold for, but it works great to put down on the floor, waterproof, nothing sticks to it, and at the end of the season I take it up and toss it, use new next year. It is a little slick when wet though. If you were looking for a permanent flooring, I would say possibly linoleum, easy to put down, moppable, and if you get the textured stuff it should have some traction wet, the smooth stuff wouldn't have dips for blood and gunk to settle in though.
Even in the shop with the concrete floor I throw down a chunk of that paper when skinning, so I don't get blood on the floor to clean up.

I’m looking for what everyone else has used for flooring in there fur shed. I just built a 10x20 shed and I was wanting some kind of durable rubber rolls that I could put in. I figured rubber would make clean up easy if I wanted to wet it down and mop. My only concern is durability and slip resistance. Thoughts? If anybody has a rubber floor or similar waterproof option I’d love to see pictures, thanks! if you have plywood the first thing I would do is get a paint on it you can add a texture if you like to make it more non slip ,but get it sealed I use cardboard on my half busted up concrete garage floor for skinning then burn it , I will never be the high volume skinner ADC is carpet you throw away is probably a good way to go rubber mats where you stand would be fine , just get that floor sealed up with a floor and deck type paint , if you have plywood or wood currently.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have cement and I got some rubber cattle mats at TSC and put them down, then a carpet scrap and cardboard. When I have a lot of blood I throw some borax on it and let it dry. Burn the cardboard after the season and maybe the carpet if it's bad. Rubber mats could be hosed off but I have not had to do that. Kind of nice standing on those mats instead of hard concrete.

I use a rubber truck bed liner under the skinning machine where blood gets deep but cover the whole thing with used carpet, even over the mat under the skinner. The carpet gets rolled up and thrown out in the spring and the rubber mat gets hosed off. Any carpet installation place can hook you up with free used carpet. The ones with the padded backs are best for soaking up water and blood. Hmmm, I have a short bed mat and long bed mat, tried selling them no luck, I use cardboard, I guess rubber would work too
