I have small kids, and getting in and out I'm always worried a leg or foot is going to go into this large gap in the sliders. So since I've been welding a lot lately I decided to have a go at fixing the problem. I ordered a section of steel floor plate from MetalsDepot.com and have been rough fitting it up. I still have some grinding to do for this one, but I think it will come out OK. I plan to weld 3 to 4 small 1.5 " welds around the perimeter to hold it in place. Getting the shape right with only an angle grinder is a pain, but I'm getting it.
Anyone else done something like this?
