Okay, folks, let’s talk about my little adventure with batten volleyball beech wooden flooring. I’m no expert, just a guy who likes to get his hands dirty and share what happens along the way.
It all started with a dream: a beautiful, gleaming volleyball court floor. I did some digging, and beech seemed like a solid choice – durable, looked good, the whole nine yards. I went with a batten system because, well, it sounded less scary than some of the other options.
First things first: preparation. This part was probably the most boring, but I knew it was crucial. I spent a good chunk of time making sure the subfloor was level. I mean, REALLY level. Any bumps or dips, and I’d be cursing myself later. I used a self-leveling compound to even things up and make sure the subfloor is clean,clean,clean!
Next up, the battens. These are basically the wooden strips that the flooring boards sit on. I laid them out, making sure they were spaced correctly – this is super important for stability and to make sure the floorboards fit right. I’m pretty sure I measured everything about five *,I used a nail gun to get the nail inside to fixed the battens.
- measuring and cutting the battens
- laying them out
- Screwing them down
Then came the fun part (sort of): laying the actual floorboards. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, except everything is the same shape. I started at one wall and worked my way across, making sure each board was snug against the next.I used hammer and tapping block to knock them in place. This took some, uh, persuasion at times.I had to get a little creative with a pry bar to squeeze some of the last boards in.
Finally I install the beech wooden flooring,I’m so pround of myself,that’s amazing!
And that was it! My very own beech wooden volleyball court floor. It wasn’t perfect, there were a few spots where I had to improvise, but overall, I was pretty darn happy with how it turned * looks great, I can say “I built that!”
