I would think it would be like having a couple of friends in for the ride- not Sumo boys, of course

Very nice, Ernie. I assume that's an engineered product or is it solid? Is it floated or nailed?

Engineered, adhered. In coaches, I have seen the staples turn and come back thru the new material when they hit steel.

Thanks!

After weeks of reading and thinking, we tore out the carpet in back bunk room and bought 'floating style' laminate flooring for it. We went round and round on which boards to get and ended up getting 5/16" thick bamboo and a foam barrier for underneath.
The question i have now: is the slide action going to mark up the floor? Should we adjust the bolts outside that control the level of the extended slide? The board fits extra snug, when the barrier is under it. When we held it in place and moved the slide a few inches - there is a subtle indentation from the slide. Is that something we just 'live with' or is there something to do to prevent it?
We cut back the carpet right to the edge of the slide, but we don't see any way to cut it back any further.
Thank you Ernie for your invaluable advice.

every piece of flooring will scratch- not if- but when. Don;t mess with what the factory made- get some pieces of luxury vinyl planks and have the slide come in over those.
Those are super slick and a whole lot cheaper then those high dollar slide slickers
