How many 12 x 12 squares does it take to cover the bathroom floor? We don't have our pod yet so I can't measure.
 
Thanks,

I tried to use a teak mat in my R-Pod, but found that it tended to slide around on the smooth plastic
floor of the shower pan.  Enough, in fact, that I was worried about it flying out from under my feet.
It was pretty, though.
If you decide on using a wooden mat...try to find some rubber water-proof 'nubs' to install on the
bottom of the wooden lathes to keep the mat from sliding.

I ended up using a vinyl-rubber shower mat from Wal-Mart that has small suction cups on its bottom.
The mat has an open weave so that water can readily drain through and the suction cups keep the mat slightly raised so water drains away easily. It also has an anti-bacterial coating.  Because it was vinyl, it was easy to cut to fit.  The suction cups do not stick down too tightly, so it is also easy to remove to clean the pan.

I bought four squares of dri dek, put them together and trimmed them to fit with scissors, rounded corners, too.

Does anyone know if any retailer like Home Depot, Walmart or Lowe's carry Dri-Dek or equivalent?
