Question:

I will be putting a full size bed in my cargo trailer.Using e track on the walls with the e track pieces that except 2x4 wood runners from one side of the one wall to the other side of the other wall.Would it be best to use horizontal e track or vertical e track that I can rest on the floor and screw to the wall? Weight on bed will be no more then 400 lbs. ...Thank You ....

Expert Reply:

Since your plan is to put the etrack on the lowest part of the trailer walls as possible I think vertical etrack like part # E19146 would be the best. But if you wanted horizontal it would work well too realistically. For that part # EM19147 would be what you need.
