[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3359156, member: 6281"] NEVER use self tapping screws. Drill them all and use a carriage bolt and nut. Red locktight the nuts for permanent life. A deck on a trailer is very important for structural strength. No different than a bridge on a highway, you have the substructure and the super structure which is the concrete deck tied with steel to the beams and this increases load max a metric schit ton. The deck can move and flex with carriage bolts but not with self tappers. Hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be worth it. [/QUOTE]
