Flooring in a transporter

[Thilo]

Hello everybody.  I am an independent craftsman and stock many of my tools in my transporter. So the floor is naturally stressed. So I had considered covering the floor with a robust covering. Only I do not know which material is best. A seller offers Nordic birch [commercial link removed]. What do you think? Do you have other ideas? Thanks for your help.

Hi Thilo, I hope you get some good suggestions. As per the forum T&Cs I've removed the specific link from your post, but hopefully we will get a wide range of suggestions from our users.

Buffalo board and make your own.

Hey @Onoff, I'd never heard of Gruffalo  Board before. That's some stuff innit? Price to match too.

 

Well, @Thilo, if you're a good enough welder ('Shume shay I'm a Welding God'  not bragging or anything) you could weld a bit of chequer plate in the right places..... maybe?

Chipboard covered in rubber.

Or plywood covered in GRP.

Ply. It's what virtually every van in the country is lined with!

I did my old Bedford Midi in ply. Still got the nut & bolt "rack" I made, all shaped to the side panel.

I have done both my last vans in 1/2inch ply with carpet underlay underneath to quiet the van down, last one had old carpet tiles as well for non slip finish (posh as well).

Maybe thilo means a different sort of transporter and he needs to put a false bottom in the boot of his 7-series.

 

Or ask that other spammer chap how he could put a hot tub in his van.

Thank you very much for your answers. Then it will be plywood. This is also significantly cheaper. 

I'm sorry with the link. I did not know that I mustn´t post it. I did not want to advertise.

Glad it's been a useful discussion. Don't take it personally... we just have to be a little cautious with new users... don't want the place to turn into a free billboard

Usually it's shoot first, see orthopaedic foot specialist later.
