Question:
Im swapping the floor of my utility trailer from Wood to Aluminum Diamond Plate. Still have the original metal grate that came from the factory. Is in perfect condition. Any advise what to use to attach the diamond plate? Regards

Expert Reply:
To attach the aluminum diamond plate to the floor of your utility trailer, you can use self-tapping screws like # FA1131822 or something longer depending on how thick the aluminum is. I recommend using one about every square foot if possible. These particular self-tapping screws are 1-1/4 inches long and have 1/4 inch - 14 x 3/4 inch long threads.
If you will be attaching the diamond plate to the metal grate on your trailer, you will need some type of anchor or lag bolts.
