What Thickness Of Plywood Should Be Used For The E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # E19148,
Updated 09/21/2010 | Published 09/20/2010
Question:
The 1/4 mounting holes are 2 apart. My metal studs are just 2 total. I could not get 2 screws from the mounting plate into a stud. If I cover the studs in plywood, what thickness is recommended to attach the track to.
asked by: Mike C
Expert Reply:
I would use 3/4 inch plywood to cover the studs and secure the plywood to the trailer frame studs in as many points as possible.
Then, use 1/2 inch wood screws to secure the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # E19148, to the plywood. I would use screws at least every other hole if not every hole, starting from the center and working to the ends to ensure the track lays flat.
