My husband and I bought a 2 horse trailer last year. We want to add rubber mats to the side of the trailer. We bought 3/16 th rubber for the side. We are thinking of using 1/2 in or smaller dry wall screws with washers. We were wondering if this is the best way or if we should try something different? Thanks in advance.

I used 3M adhesive in a spray can. Hi-Strength, green can. it was recommended by the local trailer repair shop. This stuff was awesome, and I never had to use a single screw on my wall mats. Tricky to brace in place as it dried. Wedged 2x4's up onto mats.

I added side rubber mats by using Liquid Nails and 2x4's. Do both sides at the same time with 2x4's uprights with a cross 2x4 wedged in-between. Then use black silicone sealer around the edges to prevent water entrance.
