Subs moving.
« on: November 27, 2021, 09:56:17 AM »

During the summer, we put our subs on 2x4’s to get them off the ground in case of rain.  These 2x4’s have the non slide mat glued to them.  But they still decide to walk.  I was just wondering if there was anything any of you have come up with that you might want to share??

I would start saving up for their college tuition; I hear that comes only a few short years after they start walking....

What's walking?  Is it the subs walking on the 2X4, or is it the 2X4 moving on the ground?

If the issue is with the sub sliding around, creating pockets in the 2X4 for the sub feet to settle into is cheap and easy.

Second step that works amazing is velcro.  If you still have Rat Fur subs, you can just put the pointy side of velcro on the 2X4 and it'll stick right into place no problem.  Otherwise putting velcro points on other subs is pretty easy to do.  I actually use that to attach the caster boards to my subs as well. Holds well enough to keep the board in place, but easy to remove and get out of the way when needed.

Also consider adding I-bolts or connection holes in the 2x4's.

Subs will wander due to insufficient friction.  One of the products I've used are the rubberized, woven non-slip pads for area rugs.  If you strap multiple subs together it can help... I had https://ratchetstraps.com  make custom length, 'endless' straps with black seat belt webbing.  They've got a 14% off Black Friday coupon (hint).  No affiliation with them, just a satisfied customer...

I'l'l second this stuff, used between tops and subs it almost welds them together, but ones away with no residue.
