Started our Racedeck floor today

[Cryptic1911]

This is a copy & paste from my garage build thread, so if you've seen it already, I apologize. Just figured it's on topic for this forum

We started our Racedeck install today.. If the garage was clean and empty, it would have taken a couple hours, but it was dusty, full of sawdust, and we had to move a whole bunch of ****, so we only got half of it done today

We put down landscape fabric to try and take some of the clackety clack noise.

section in front of one door started.. sorry for the quality, iphone ***** for pics if the light isnt just right

Now we're gettin somewhere

Here's where we ended it.. just over half done. Gotta move all the heavy stuff to do the rest

We moved the toolbox over onto the new tiles so we can start in its spot tomorrow. Ended up using a piece of 1/4" plywood to make a ramp.. it went easier than I expected, considering the weight

I left the back 3 feet of the garage all black, as it's going to have 3ft wide pallet rack all the way across once we get everything finished up

It looks even better with a car on it!

Looks good so far, esp. with the car. More photos when completed.

The Racedeck is finally all done. Had to move a bunch of stuff today to do the other side, as well as do under the lift.

We ended up getting some 3/4" pieces of plywood, and putting it under the casters on the lift to get a bit more height so I could place tiles under the posts without actually moving the lift

Sliced the landscape fabric to go around the wheel so I could get it flat, then put the tiles down

The edge tiles were all cut on the delta bandsaw, and it made an incredible mess! LOL.. I had jiblets of plastic everywhere, but it cut nice

All done.. everything is just stuffed out of the way at the moment until we get the pallet racking in there, then it'll all be moved

It looks awesome, just glad the install is done.. Actually, the install of the tiles themselves isn't bad at all, and goes fairly quickly, its just the shuffling around of all the **** in the garage that makes alot of work. I gotta get my buddy to take some pics of it with a wide angle lens so you can see it all in one shot

Nice looking garage! I like your idea of putting landscape fabric. Does it take out most of the clacking noise?

Yeah, it quiets it down a bit. It doesnt make it completely silent, but it changes the sound from a sharp clack (plastic on concrete), to a softer sound. I think that I would have gotten used to it either way, but I think it was a worthwhile investment for $47 for the roll.

Definitely sounds worthwhile. Thanks for the tip, I'll for sure lay some fabric when I get my Racedeck.
