Duck Boards for the shower...

I made some duck boards for our Adria Compact shower last weekend, not perfect but I'm very pleased all the same. Some photos here...

Oooher, I like those. How did you do them

An excellent job. Very well done and thanks for sharing your process/method

Very nice!

Very interesting and you obviously have good skills, particularly to adapt to an complex shaped tray, and they look very nice

I have been thinking of making duckboards for our Arto since there have been incidences of shower tray cracking.

However I am worried about the psi loading if I fit bearers underneath to support the boards. I note you put rubber feet, but even these must carry the whole weight of a person onto those pressure points compared to the persons weight on the tray spread over their footprint. Any comment please?

I also wonder about slipping on yacht varnish and whether another protective coating might be safer. How have you found that aspect in use?

It's a satin varnish so hasn't proven slippery, not that you can fall very far in there

The shower floor in the adria is very solid and flat, in comparison to our Autotrail, but I did consider the loading and had fitted a lot of compressable soft feet.

Once wet however the boards would slide around so I bought a roll of 20mm wide non absorbent foam strip and applied it in strips underneath which has been better wet and dry and as you said, spreads the load evenly.

Excellent job. I have thinking about making some myself and this has given me the final inspiration. In our MH the main problem is the Good Woman is compact in size and the WC is raised up fairly high so the idea was to raise the shower floor . The other choice would be dig out some old platform shoes I suppose.

I have done this sort of thing for a living for years. You have produced something here that impresses the heck out of me to help others. Brilliant.
