We used a combination of
Floor Repair Screws &
Floor Repair Bolts (elevator bolts) from Vintage Trailer Supply. Where we could get to the open end of the c-channel, we used elevator bolts - where we couldn't we used the screws. We ended up with elevator bolts on all the plywood edges at the joints and screws at the mid-span of each sheet. Along the perimeter, we used the VTS screws when over an outrigger and smaller screws in between. We spaced both the bolts & screws closer together o/c than the original elevator bolts - the floor is very sturdy.
