Fastening E-Track to the Sides of an Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I know that I need to fasten a 5foot horizontal E-Track to frame supports. What I need to know is what type of bolts or screws to use, The trailer is lined with plywood but I can locate the support beams.

Expert Reply:
The screw holes on the E-Tracks are 1/4 inch in diameter and the E-Tracks are made of galvanized steel. Erickson does not recommend a specific type of fastener, so you can use any type of steel fastener, screw or bolt, that you wish. If you choose to use screws, be sure the underside of the head is flat and not curved so it sits flush on the E-Track. I also recommend using screws long enough to pass through the plywood and into the support beams where you can. This will provide the best support for the E-Tracks. Most local hardware stores can give you the best options.
