Best way to install etrack?

[snik]

Just bought a new enclosed trailer, and I’m going to be installing e track on the walls. What is the best way to install them? Screw every other hole? What size screws? Thanks I’m advance.

When we installed etrack on one of the work trailers, we screwed 5/4 decking boards to the metal tubing studs and then the etrack to it. We put a 3/4” screw in every hole. Probably not necessary but sometimes the OCD prevails.

I ran self-tapping screws in the vertical aluminum studs in mine. Just make sure not to use a screw that is too long, you won't be happy with the exterior results

This is how I did it as well.

3/4" screws in every hole. Where I ran into a metal stud, I put in a self tapping metal screw.

Screws are cheap, some of what I haul is not.
