Look round the sheds etc for some end of range engineered solid oak
flooring. Clamp and glue that together and to a MDF etc base. Edge with
the same stuff planed to fit. You should be able to get it for about 15
quid a sq mtr. It probably wouldn't stand getting soaked in water - but
will be fine for your job.
