Have you considered carpet? When it gets too tatty, pull it out and
replace. 28ft x 8ft would use 28 ft of a 9 ft wide piece, for a total
of about 28 square yards. Shouldn't run more than 500$. Or linoleum?
I don't know how much traction you want for your feet, though.
Of course if it's not a good idea, please let me know. I don't want
to make a big mistake when it's my turn!

(no longer thinking, but outside the box, anyhow.)
