Floorboard Clamp

heffo500 · 2023-01-25 12:21:14

I've been having great difficulties getting T&G OSB to join together. Does anyone know where I get get some floorboard clamps? Most hire places don't stock them.

Flooring providers often have them, but screwfix also stock one.

Are you working on Joists? These guys just use a block of wood on the on the lip of the tongue and give a bash

Traditional Flooring Cramps were never cheap but this horrified me https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faithfull-FAIFC-FC-Flooring-Clamp/dp/B000X2CNHS/ I sold my set of Record ones years back for 50 quid. No wonder people try and hire them.

Wake me up when it's all over.

You could improvise with a folding wedge arrangement, acting against a screwed in timber block or a longer piece fixed perpendicular (temporary screws or g clamps) to the joist and moved along as you go.
