How'd you get the car in sideways? Or rather why and how?

I am curious as well, how DID you get that car in there sideways???

 

[tre873]

Car dollies would be my guess

It's a 3 car garage, back in on an angle and then straighten out.

What he said. Backed it in and yes it's a 3 car so it was easy.

Thanks, pattern was the hardest part of it. The wall at the 3rd bay was throwing everything off.

Just a little update on how the floor is holding up. I finally had a chance to get the car up in the air. To play it safe I decided to use some extra tiles under the jack and stands and I’m glad I did. Two of the jack wheels severely dented one of the tiles and at least one of the jack stands is slightly crushing another. Also it’s amazing how much this floor expands and contracts so I’m glad I followed the instructions on the wall gap. All in all I love the floor, many compliments and even a few possible installs in the future. Even though I don’t have a problem with cleaning the floor I still haven’t found a cleaning solution I’m happy with. Thanks again RaceDeck

Make some plywood plates for the jack and jack stands. Note that jacks need to roll a few inches as they lift. Paint the plywood if you need things to look pretty given the fancy floor.

Is it normal for the jack wheels to damage the floor like that? I've just bought race deck diamond for my garage and now I'm worried I'm going to damage the floor every time I jack the car up. I understand the jack stands need flat feet but surely the jack wheels shouldn't damage the floor like that?

I have a place close by called https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/ that sells their scraps pretty cheap. I paid about $25 for four square of steel that are about 1/8th of an inch thick, and I would put those under my jack stands to keep from damaging the tiles.

With that said, I would never install another modular floor, but that's just me. My father installed one and only parks cars on it, and it looks great after ten years. I installed one, and in five years, it was a disaster because I work on cars in my garage.

I’m going to assume depending on the wheel size of the jack you use. I used a 1-1/2 Ton and the wheels were on the small size and they didn’t roll, I did eventually use a thin gauge metal so the jack would roll to eliminate the problem. I recommend using plywood or metal to place under the jack and stands. I only used the spare tiles to see the effect on the floor and don’t intend on using them in the future
