I attached them over a one piece welded in steel bed. I first coated the bed with POR15 and then mounted the boards over closed cell pipe insulation (boards are on top of foam insulation so they have air under them). I drilled holes through the steel bed and used stainless steel bolts and self tighening nuts to secure it to the steel plate. It was alot of work but I'm happy with the results.


I love the floor...well done...but what really caught my eye is the bedsides...is there a story on those?
