Great product, just wish they were predrilled, 1 star removed for that. If you had a jig set up on a drill press you could do 10 of these in a minute. Counter sinking with a depth stop on a hand drill takes more time for me.
Hi Robert,
We're so happy to hear that you liked our Super Slides. We used to pre-drill them actually (3 down the middle), but some people wanted 4 holes, as they didn't think 3 were enough. Some wanted 5, some thought 6 holes was the right amount (2 every 5 inches or so), some wanted to cut our 3' or 5' slides in half lengthwise because their boat sat on the skinner side of a 2x8 or 2x10 and the 3 holes in the middle would prevent them from being able to do that. I say all this to say, we tried and we couldn't make everyone happy. So we now just ask that you drill them as you see fit and specific to your own project. Other slides come predrilled because they're injection molded, made inexpensively, and of a material that breaks down very easily. We choose to manufacture a superior product instead of an injection mold like everyone else. Hope you can understand and thanks again for your order.
Really like the thickness and feel of this carpet. Was very easy to measure cut and install on all four bunks. Looking forward to seeing how this will be after 1-2 years sitting in sun.
