Coaches Spring floor diagram for 4x8 panels (mostly)

[MyrtleWarbler]

We are opening a new preschool/rec gym soon and we have a secondhand floor to assemble. It is in stacks of boards, some with the spring "cups" and some without. And, the board sizes vary! Most are 4'x8' plywood, with a smaller number that are 4'x6' or 3'x8 and even a couple 4'x7'. All the typical assembly diagrams I find online are for 5'x5' boards, offset squares, easy peasy. But I'm dealing with a puzzle!! Does anyone have any guidance or diagram for a 4'x8'-based configuration?? We were told it was a 42'x42' floor, but the math doesn't add up. But, it should be somewhere around "full size" and possibly it's not a perfect square.

This sounds like a geometry homework question! Honestly, it sounds like the original owners Frankenstein-ed their floor, and didn't bother writing instructions on how to set it up.

I would create a miniature version of what you're dealing with: cut a bunch of cardboard rectangles that are to scale (e.g. 4 in. x 8 in.), and then experiment with different configurations. You might not be able to replicate the exact configuration that the original owner used, but you can probably get pretty close.
