Thanks for the floor idea I wasn't sold on epoxy or painting this is perfect!
I’ve been going back and forth with epoxying the floor or are using the vinyl. I think after watching your video and I’m going to go with the final. Thank you for your video.
Happy to help!
Looks great
Great video. Im doing a similar project except im doing E tracks though. And I'm using interlocking gym flooring. Since it's thicker I'm hoping it still secures the locking hooks. I may have to cut around it which may not be as appealing to the eye as this.
So you just painted the walls white? It looks very good. Also what trim did you use for the floors. I just ordered coin flooring and want to trim it to the sides like yours.
Thank you. Yes. Just primed and painted. The trim is 1/2” aluminum L angle
From Home Depot
If you put that coin flooring down just using double sided tape instead of troweling adhesive and using a heavy roller you will be sorry later when it start to stretch
Yea, we pulled that tape off and glued it down the same day.
Thanks for making this video!!
It appears like there was flat wood floor trim around the wheel wells? It looks like you just pulled that up so the vinyl flooring would lay flat all the way up to the wheel wells. Am I correct? I ask because I have it all along the walls and around the wheel wells and I was going to pull that up and use trim in the corners just as you have. Any thoughts?
I have the rubber coin flooring on the way with spread-on adhesive. Hopefully I get a decent result like yours.
Yes, we pulled that trim up. It only left a small gap that the floor could easily cover.
@@Blackhorseturbo Perfect!! Thanks!! I appreciate the super quick response. It's unbelievable the difference in trailer pricing with a finished floor as opposed to one without which is why I went with one that had a plywood floor. You added a significant amount of value to your trailer when you did that. Looks great IMO!!
@@stevehoagland1179 I lucked out with this one for sure. Picked sit up for a steal and I use it all the time. Love it. Thanks Steve.
Looks good. How much did you spend?
Great video…….I have one question. Did you use a mounting plate under the trailer when you installed the recessed D-Rings?
Yes I did.
That floor will be slippery when wet. Be careful up the ramp with anything with wet or muddy tires.
It’s not slippery when wet at all. Maybe you’re thinking of a different material
Where did you buy the aluminum trim from for the flooring? Thank you.
Home Depot
How has the light colored vinyl held up to tire marks? I've seen a few complaints that the rubber stains the vinyl and it doesn't come clean.
So far so good. I’ve done half a dozen events with it so far.
Hi there what the name of the aluminum u use and what did u put in the bottom of the floor befor u install the vinyl
It’s purchased at Home Depot. It’s aluminum L angle. 1/2”
I'm in the midst of a very similar project. With regard to the flooring, are you confident that the double-sided tape alone is enough to adhere the flooring securely? Just trying to decide between Glue and Tape. I will also be securing the sides with angled diamond plate where you used aluminum, and will also have e-Track on the floor to tie vehicle wheels. Just looking for opinions.
I ditched that idea. And sprayed adhesive. Although if I were to do it again, I’d use heavy duty flooring glue.
@@Blackhorseturbo Interesting... Did it just not hold up? I'm planning on loading a car in the trailer, so certainly want this secure.
@@houstonklassen1549 I didn’t even try it. I pulled the tape off and glued it same day.
@@houstonklassen1549 we used the double side tape made for this stuff. It works fine. By the time you mount everything into the trailer, that floor isn't going anywhere. And if you want to switch it out later on, it's a lot easier than scraping it up from the glue.
What did you use for your trim on the floor?
It’s a 1/2” aluminum L trim.
Where do you find that type of flooring
I found it on Amazon.
You did a great job..... Where did you get the trim for the floor and the ramp
Thank you! I bought the trim at Home Depot.
Sorry one more question.... What trim is that on the ramp?? Does not look the same as the floor trim
@@TheMasterkiller24 it’s the same. Just reversed in the trailer.
@@Blackhorseturbo can i ask you 1 more dumb question..... What did you use to hold the trim down on the ramp....... Thanks for all you info
@@TheMasterkiller24 we used 1” self tappers
What type of adhesive did you end up spraying on to glue the floor down?
I used an adhesive in a tube. But if I did it again? I’d use a bucket and spread it like paint. For full coverage.
@@Blackhorseturbo have you had issues with it wrinkling?
@@TheDakotamag no wrinkling. But I can see the glue lines.
What size trim did you use ?
I used 1/2” aluminum trim
You move your camera too fast. Not a smooth video. Made me car sick and I'm sitting in my chair, at home. End product looks great, though!
Yes. It looks great!!
Sorry about that. Rookie mistake.
