If it's only a 1/4-inch thick, would a piece of 1/2-inch plywood work just as well?

Yes. It just wouldn't look as nice. I just use it to protect the carpet. It is easy to clean and is tough. A large rug would work also.

Depends on what you are trying to do... If you are trying to protect a carpet from getting indented, or just catch your sweat as you get a workout sure. If you are trying to reduce vibration to an apartment below, maybe not so much. I row in bare feet/socks, so the foamy/rubbery PVC is better on my feet (pleasant really) than a piece of plywood. Probably better than a 1/2 plywood for stubbed toes too, unless you round the edges and corners. The surface is non-slip, and that is working for me...not sure how much slippage you would see with plywood.

No problem here ... Could screw it down into 3/4 in ply wood piece underneath the house ...

Yes it could. Its about 1/2 inch thick. If it needs to be squished down some it will with ease. Very much worth the buy on my end!

It sounds like it would, you will need a 1" spacer of wood or something though.

We have only hung a 3/4 and a full, but I see no reason why a 1/2 wouldn't fit at all. It should be just fine!

Depends on thickness and type of wood. 1/4"? Yes. 1/2" pine? Sure. 3/4" hardwood? Not easily. A small job could likely be done with just a rotary tool like a dremel or rotozip

Thanks for the questions. You may use 1/2" - 3/4 plywood if you like it will be fine, the only issue may be that the mattress may sit too low, personal preferance? Please feel free to call toll free at 1 866 753 8001 or go to the website at thegoodtimber.com

It can but it is best done with a backer board. I'd use either 1/2" or 3/4" MDF or plywood.

I'm sure it would work, but because of amount of material needing to be cleared out, especially with 3/4" lumber, I think the 1/2" bit would be the safest route to go.

I have it currently clipped to a 3/4" shelf, which appears to be the optimal thickness. Any more than that, and it would probably 'slide'.
1446035
Yes. That would be a good idea. I would suggest you use treated 4 X 4 around the perimeter with a couple cross members and marine plywood though

Yes it will work with 1/2" material, you will have to adjust the drill stop and some of the screw head will be out on drilled piece

No, I doubt it. I would say the materials you mentioned are much to thick. It would however work for a variety of things no thicker than about 1/8 in thickness.

I did a little experimenting and the smallest block of wood I could get in it and all the "jaws" clamping it correctly was 2 inch by 4 inch. Of course, you could always use spacers. As far as thickness, I've clamped 1/4 inch thick stuff before, but you can only use slight pressure or the wood will bend.

I have it on small platform about 1" thick. Otherwise the door would probably be hard to open.

No! I measured it... 1/2 inch, but I agree that an inch would be too thick.

There are adapter parts to make it either 1/2 or 1/4 inch, so the answer is yes.
