4) T-block. 

A plastic T-block provides a sliding surface and prevents material from going 
underneath slats/planks.  T-blocks are not recommended for use with highly 
abrasive materials. 
 

 

 

5) NO end sub-deck 

The absence of an end sub-deck is undesirable because it leaves no support for 
ends of slats/planks. 
 

 

 

NOTES: 

 The first three options include a wear pad bearing in the floor slats/planks.  

The square sub-deck material can extend to 12mm from the doors for all options. 

 

1. Install the selected end sub-deck following these instructions:
