Ski guides on inline trailers

Just ordered a 7x19 Legend Inline trailer and wondering how everyone sets up their ski guides. Do you put a set exactly in the middle knowing your going to have to pull a sled to each side or do you run a set on one side or both? Any pictures would be great.

No pics to post, but I do not put any guides on the inside of the trailer. I have them on my ramp doors only.

Sometimes I put two sleds in, sometime three and on occasions I'll put four in. Guides usually do not match up anyway. This way they sleds move easier when I jockey them around.

If you run your sleds in the same way every time then I would put them on the floor but wouldn't worry about the curved corner piece.

That's just my two cents.............

not sure if this helps any at all, but I have seen guys here selling sheets of HD plastic, 1/4-1/2-3/4 inch 4x8 sheets, like 10-20 bucks sheet
I would think having them down would make things???

might be able to track them down near you

could save the decking from wear and tear, can cut out for tie downs or??
just food for thought ??
here is a local add near me!

I have 7x28 neo and have different quantity of sleds most times we use it. I had the same question when I bought it. It was recommend to me to use 1/4" Osb over the deck. I did this and was cheap. Figure I would get a couple of years. Pull it up and replace. Was about $5 per sheet. I also then used the e-tracks on the side wall to secure them along the kick panel. Works great and the sleds don't move.

I didn't use anything on my legend. I also won't haul a sled with picks. Legend uses some special plywood.

According to the spec sheet, Legend uses 3/4" Engineered wood on the floor, ramps and kick plate.

Pez, how has the floor been holding up and how old is your trailer? Sharp carbides will do as much damage as picks.

Brother is on his second legend with that wood. He only has picked sleds and floor still looks like new.

My trailer is a 2010 and floor is holding up fine. I did loose a chunk out of a corner of the door from loading. If I was closer to the trailer, I would snap pictures.

A real pain. Buddy of mine did it once. Said NEVER AGAIN...

Why would you want to replace the floor that often? I have friends that have trailers 10-12 years old and their floors are still in very good condition.

I just threw that number of years out there....it was just a WAG is all. When I get an enclosed trailer, my debate will be what do do if anything on the main floor. Mats and guides or just move them around. After really my first experience with an enclosed trailer last weekend, I'd definitely put track grabbers of some kind on the door.
