Not all heroes wear capes. This seems equivalent to car design engineers who make the engines in CAD software without having to consider the clearance needed for mechanics who will have to take things apart for maintenance or repairs later.
Unless you're redoing an old one. Other comments are saying they cut out a notch of metal and welded it back in after. When i did mine, i just cut the last 2 planks so they would fall in with one end fully seated into the pocket on one end, then slid them back half the depth of each end's pocket so they were in both 1/2 way. Screwed one 2x4 across the floor underneath to keep them in place, caught in both ends. Easy, no problem since.
@@jennyjansen754 Replacing rotted floors you cut off the strap since it should have been welded down with short welds. Just replace the strap or reuse it. Never waste your time bowing boards in. Tung and groove floors you pop them in from the middle. Built horse and stock trailers for years.

Yep this is the recommended method. Took less than 20 minutes to replace 2 deck boards on my 16ft trailer. Treated lumber from the box store is so sloppy wet with chemicals that my small 10 year old son was heavy enough to bend the 2x8 into position. I don’t know if this method works with shorter boards or dry wood. But it was very safe and easy with 16ft.
I've done it twice. Wet treated lumber bends easy and it isn't going to come flying out and kill you. But you do have to be careful where you put your fingers. 😮
If you look on trailers, the front angle iron is smaller than the rear, you cut the board so when fitted all the way to the rear, it barely clears the front. From there you slide it forward. Both lips will cover the wood, then screw it down on the cross braces. No bending, no cutting or welding metal, slips right in.
I've only seen one or two trailer manufacturers that bolt the strip down, most use short welds that have to be cut, then the smarter ones drill a few holes and re install with bolts.

I just learned a new thing today. That being said , I had to cut off a slot to put the boards on my trailer. Thank You for this educational video and God Bless.
Just watch out for the kick back from the board. I’m my opinion, the best way to do it is cutting the weld off of the rear angle and just slide all the boards in, then weld it back. God bless
It's easier to cut the few short welds on the front and remove the strip of metal as intended. Then replace either by welding or drilling a few holes and us bolts with lock nuts.
@@snarecat3441 don't need to bow any but the last deck-board(they have room for one more here, looks like), which should be the middle, not on either side. The boards should get dropped in at an angle, and then straightened into position. And the last board shouldn't have to bend that much, either. 4-5" bend at the most, otherwise, thinner pine decking (which that looks like) might snap. And if those deck-boards snap under tension, anybody standing too close is going to the hospital to get several 3-6" splinters removed from them. Better hope you wore your safety glasses
Just make more "valleys" that way. Always alternate cupping and get overall surface as flat as possible - will work better in long run. Just like for tables.
You know, this could have been done way easier if the boards were soaked in ammonia first. When wood absorbs ammonia it becomes very flexible and slightly rubbery. You can bend it into almost any shape, and then when the ammonia evaporates you have normal wood again. That would have been way easier to do if they would have done it that way.
My neighbor had a trailer like that and we cut out one end of the angle and lifted out each one after sliding it to the opening🤔👍 only had to screw one end of the last board🙂

Yeah that's a much better way, easier to replace if needed.
That's the right way to get it done my friend lol
Exactly!
I put floors in trailers for years. Welded the strap on after boards were laid down.
My old man had a removable strap that he used grade 8 bolts to hold it on, held up like a champ
makes more sense to me the way you do it

I like my way a lot better. Cut a slot out of the metal. Lay the boards in and slide them over. Weld the piece back in. Done

Don't want the hole down welded, bolt them for quick and easy replacement
In Germany we invented screws. They are great! You can screw the wood on and off the trailer very easy. Perhaps we can send you some?
😂

Fair enough but why would you ever build a trailer like this to begin?
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 why not?
I made my trailer out of wood and welded around it
They need to be replaced at some point
Nice one so the metals only painted on one side and they could be replacing boards
The kind of actually do that. The boards are installed then a piece of metal is welded on at the front of the trailer
Looks like that might have been done but wood rotted and you can see they are replace wood slats.
They probable did that also when it was new. Now he is replacing the boards.

Tbh it would be easier to get the angle grinder and welder out
Dominic Stephen's and safer always a chance that board will spring back if hit wrong
Didn't look too difficult.
Surely you don't believe that.
Apparently some people don't own welders. I was surprised too.
One wrong move in you’re either getting smacked in the balls or you’re losing your hands😅
Literally the most dangerous way to complete this 😂
I grinded off the welds and slipped them in and rewelded it in two hours. no stupidity involved.
funny how most people have never heard of a scissor jack
I almost do the same thing
Why weld the strap to begin with? Just build it with bolt on straps.
The method in the video seems so counter intuitive
I don't care what anybody says I think that was ingenious

Thanks bro. I had to grind off the strip at one end then weld it back. Didn’t have my thinking cap on.
I did the same . Took end off then re-welded. Probably faster and safer .

For sure. You just bolt the strap down. This is not how any manufacturer does it.
Well it worked, but id just cut the welds and re weld it in a few minutes afterwards.

I like it when the board is first put in the slot, and then he realizes that he has to hit it from the bottom. Tappy, tap, tap it in.
Who else would have zipped a piece of angle iron to insert the boards

How bout you lay the boards down first then weld the end cap
Probably replacing boards on an existing trailer. Which means you have to do this
Well that certainly wouldn't be easier or quicker than this method.

I used ro build utility trailers for a living, and I can tell you from experience, these guys are *severely* overcomplicating the process.

Did something similar, just used a floor jack to lift the board and cinder blocks as counter weight.
You deserve all the likes and follows.
...That Dodge will break looong before that 2 × 10 will lmao 🤣
Nice tip!
I usually just cut off the front or back steel and reweld after
Finally some sense!

Guess I won't be throwing my old trailer away now...
You're going places, keep it up!

Might be easier to finish with a weld
Took these guys about 20 seconds, I doubt welding would be easier.
Можно было посредине вставить доски , проще и легче !
If they oriented it so end grain on all boards is like a frown then this will last much longer, due to water dispersement
