I want to mount some rubber bumpers on the four corners of the deck. They will protect home, dogs, shins, and perhaps even ducks. A little rubber will help a lot.
I don't want them to extend onto the deck. The deck is going to be smooth and flat.
They need to be strong and strongly mounted enough to withstand skidding to a stop on concrete.
This resulted in needing to mount rubber strips that could possibly experienced hundreds of pounds of force, to thin air as that area is the cutout on my AL rail.
Enter... DeckTails (tm).
I have large enough single bit of thin poly carbonate (Lexan) that I can cover the deck with it and have enough on the ends for tails to wrap around the end of the rails. This gives my rubber corner guards a secure mounting spot and perhaps a spring...
Basically, I'm adding tabs on the corners that will wrap around to the bottom.
Time to get that tubeless tire holding air and free of metal filings.
