Vinyl Plank Flooring - Not So DIY Friendly?

[Makenzi Capezza]

Just purchased my first property and chose vinyl plank for the floors. Everywhere stated how DIY friendly it was. We have found it to be the complete opposite. Has anyone had any problems with LVP before?? The main problem is getting the tounge and groove into the long end at an angle but then we are finding it borderline impossible to slide the board or get the tongue and groove into the short end.

Did you check any YouTube videos on this? I just put in a vinyl plank floor and it wasn’t bad at all. I imagine the manufacturer had some literature on the install that can help too. For my install a rubber mallet worked perfect to lock the ends in together.
