There are a few different options for installing a plywood van fit out, depending on your preferences and needs:
- Screwed-In: This is the most common and straightforward method of installation. You can attach the fit out to the floor of your van using Tek Screws, which will hold it securely in place.
- Bolted-In: For a more heavy-duty installation, you can use bolts instead of screws. This will provide additional strength and stability but will require more work to install. Ensure when pre-drilling or the bolt to check for any electrical and brake wires or obstructions. Note: Ensure Nyloc nuts are used to stop the nut from rattling off and coming loose.
- Freestanding: If you prefer not to attach the fit out to the walls or floor of your van, you can create a freestanding fit out that is held in place by its own weight. This can be useful if you want the flexibility to remove the fit out at a later date.
- Combination: You can also combine the above methods, using a combination of screws, bolts, and freestanding elements to create a fit out that is customized to your specific needs and preferences.
- Turnbuckles: If you don’t want to drill into you van, however want the unit safely secured, turnbuckles are the best option (if there are mounting points on the van floor). Screw the turnbuckles to the side of the van fit out and attach the other side to the mounting points and tighten until firm.
No matter which installation method you choose, be sure to consider factors such as weight distribution, use and access to electrical and plumbing systems. Always consult a professional before installing your fit out.
