Smell is rather strong as was mentioned by a couple of other reviews but I use mine outside of my garage door. They are just a tiny bit too small for a standard size hose but still adds sufficient cushioning when the car drives over the hose to protect it from being damaged.
We used this product in our manufacturing facility to cover 3/4" conduit across walkways to meet safety managers specs to remove trip hazard to avoid being written up. Easy to fasten down and durable used a total of 12 pieces. Very happy with the look and function.
