I'm a solo owner/op in the landscaping field and watch plenty of videos.. Mark my words, if you take this RUclips thing seriously your channel going to blow up.
Thank you! I would like to think I take it pretty serious, this is our second channel!
Get a piece of diamond plate for flap touching the ground. Help prevent rot when it’s wet.
That's a great idea!
Love that floor so much we put it in our garage!! Good job on it.
Our garage and shop will eventually get the same treatment!
@@OffThePathWithKevin very nice!! This product is so nice looking and durable.
Put a piece of aluminum angle on the ramp flap so the aluminum lays on the ground.
That is a really good idea! I need to do something soon!
Add the horse trialer mat material for the flip down on the door at the back. It will protect the door when open. Loved the video.
That's actually a great idea and I have some left over from the project!
I'd put a rubberized material on the small piece bottom that flips on the tailgate to protect the side that touches the ground/concrete. That should help save that extend the life of it. The flooring solution looks great. Just hope it's lawn mower/equipment friendly over time.
So far we have been using it for a month and it has held up great! Time will tell how it will hold up over time!
Looks outstanding. I plan on doing my garage as soon as we get cleaned out. Just moved in April and it is stuffed to the brim.
We have done this to every garage we have owned and we love it!
@@OffThePathWithKevin I was considering having it done, but after watching your video I am going to do it myself. It is a new house so hopefully it will go smoothly. 😉
Just a suggestion, but maybe put a piece of rubber on the bottom side of that door flap
That floor looks awesome 😊
Thank you! that's actually a great idea!
@@OffThePathWithKevin my trailer had big rubber dots across the rear that have help up pretty well. Snag up a chunk off retread off the highway that will work.
My door has those that rest on the ground but nothing on the flap!
I was just gonna suggest that also!
I did the Rhino liner in my enclosed trailer it took a few months but it started to peel up in spots. That looks good.
So far we have been mowing for a few months and it looks just as good as the day we did it! Will keep you updated on how it holds up!
I've seen some toss the flakes in the air to even out the flakes
I tried all kinds of methods, but the tossing up spread them out the best!
Hay Kevin I wonder if they have something like they use on truck bed railing to protect the edge of that ramp that contacts the ground. Like a metal strip.
Someone suggested rubber, which is a great idea!
Put a piece of metal striping on the underside of the fold out flap on your trailer. that will keep the wood from wearing down. Could use diamond plate to make it look good. :D
Diamond Plate is a great idea!
Awesome job, it looks really good! I think I'll try it out. Thanks for the video and information. I like your channel. 🎉
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the channel!
Beautiful job! Great suggestions on the product use. Best of luck in your news endeavor! Wow... tons of changes for your family in the last year! That will need a montage at years end!
Thank you! Maybe we will have to montage it up!
Last time you'll see it that way. I tried on my shed with vehicles.
We have installed this in every garage we have had and it held up great! Prep is the most important part in these type of coatings lasting!
I have always used coppertox It’s a good treatment for wood. Used it on shrimping trawl boards on small boats. Any wood that will be subject or submerged in a wet environment. It can be painted over. Good on decks, docks, piers bulwarks, fence post basically any wood that is in wet conditions
Never thought about that! But we had the same intended end result with the poly floor! We just don't want wet wood ever!
Love the new floor! Makes the trailer looks a lot more better. How long did it take in all to do this project? We all most put that in my garage. We be ready to see more of this series. Have a great day!
Just the floor took a couple of hours to prep with sanding! And about 2 to apply the coating from start to finish!
@@OffThePathWithKevin ok thank you
Trailer floor (and walls) look great! So are you leaving the ranch to concentrate on your new lawn care business?
No never! The ranch is part time 2-3 days a week and the rest of the days I am running the landscaping trailer! At some point as it grows I may have to reduce my ranching days but we will deal with that when the time comes!
Looks awesome. Good job Kevin. Great choice. ❤
Thank you!
Now you have another job you can do for folks. Garage floor restoration.
You will see me do this to our garage and shop floor soon!
If you get gas on the floor. Don't wipe it with a rag. The flakes will get smeared. And break clean is bad also.
Thanks! I try to do all gas activities outside the trailer just to keep thinks from spilling in the trailer!
That does look good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Hey hey my brother, looking awesome. Great video. I'll give you a little pro tip if you ever decide to do it again. Take a hand held fertilizer spreader, toss your flakes in it and boom, super easy and awesome control over the disbursement of the flakes. Can't wait to see more my friend.
Never thought of that! I though half the fun was creating your own flake patterns!
@@OffThePathWithKevin me too. And once in a while when we're doing garage epoxy we get a customer that wants/thinks it all needs to be completely uniform. I like your method because it adds dimension and character.
Plus I had to hide some of my imperfections with extra flakes!
Good job, great information.
Thanks!
Maybe you did this but i wonder if putting a lid on the 5 gal bucket would extend the working time at all. Also maybe doing it in cooler weather.
Once you mix the two parts it starts doing it's thing! Sure a lower temperature might buy you a few more minutes but your not stopping the science of what's happening once you start!
Great job
Thanks!
Looks great can't wait to see how it holds up
So far we have been mowing for a few weeks and it's holding up great!
Nice Job! 🎶🌈
Thank you!
Great video brother, will be doing this 👍🏻
Thanks! Remember move quick that 45 min suggestion is no joke!
UP!
Thanks!
SUPER!
Thank you!
Looks awesome! Great job. What about underneath the trailer, is there a barrier to protect the plywood from water? 🤷♂️
The underside is painted as well at the factory!
Kevin, floor looks amazing. How slippery will it get if it gets wet. We used just a stsin, sealer on our landscape trailer. I have a 20' enclosed by 7' tall and the same width as you.
So far it has been not slippery at all when mowing in the mornings or when wet! I think without the flakes it would be very slippery!
Check out Midlife Stockman he is doing lawncare in his area for free on abandoned house and for people in need, can't wait to see some of your video's when you start mowing.
Will check it out!
Looks great definitely considering doing this with my trailer! Mine is 24' would you recommend just doing 2 or even 3 batches because of how fast it dries?
Thanks! One kit does 400sq ft so one box will do you even after you factor in the door! Just make sure you have help and do it in 30 min or less! If you can't I would consider mixing one batch at a time otherwise it will start to set up on you!
👍
Thanks!
Is that slick when it’s wet? I slip on mine and it’s just wood, just curious cause I want to do this to mine!
I think without the flakes it would be slick. So far no issues when mowing wet getting myself or the mower in the trailer!
Between the house and the trailer, you are a glutton for sanding punishment.
I have been doing a lot of sanding lately!
Was that primer water or oil based?
Oil Based!
@@OffThePathWithKevinthanks for the fast reply
