Hi GJ,
I just completed the install of my RaceDeck Free-Flow garage floor in the shop side of my garage. Coming from a garage floor that’s been coated and re-coated with Rustoleum Epoxy multiple times, I’m seriously impressed with the Free-Flow tile system and loving it so far. My only regret is that I didn’t go this route sooner. I realize a professionally installed epoxy over a ground floor would hold up very well, but I still think I like the RaceDeck product more! The quality is excellent, installation was a breeze (thanks to my wife for cutting around the 2-post lift footers with a dremel) and the customer support from Abbey in Utah was exceptional. I only broke a handful of tiles out of approximately 1,000 and fortunately Abbey was kind enough to include some extras, so I had no problem completing the entire area.
Besides showing off the garage, which I’m so proud of thus far even though it’s still a work in progress, I do have one problem I’d like suggestions on from my fellow 2-post lift owners who’ve installed RaceDeck flooring. When I lower the lift arms as far as necessary to disengage the pivot lock, they are rubbing on the flooring, which makes them very hard to rotate. I realize I can lift the lock-release pin and rotate the arms that way, but it’s pretty inconvenient and annoying. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a way to adjust the depth of the arm pivot lock so it disengages higher off the ground? Any input appreciated.
Finally, a few pics of the finished flooring. Still lots of work to do in the garage, but it’s getting there!
Thanks,
JD
