Hi the measurements of the boot floor are 970mm wide and 1045mm deep.

Yeah, I'll run a tape over it tomorrow.

I cut the rear off the side supports and the front edge of the boot floor. In terms of tips, make the wooden support a bit oversize so it pushes the side supports out and "wedges"against the lashing point

I see what you did there

Yes the whole thing is a mk 2 variable floor. I haven't changed the carpet underneath so I'll need to remove the floor to get to the tyre if needed.

Hi, new member here. I can see that this has been discussed a few times and I thought I'd share what I've done. I was disappointed to see that you couldn't get dealer fit variable boot floor as you could with the MK2. I nearly didn't buy my replacement skoda because of that, but having tried various other cars it was clear that a newer VRS was best for us. I had a variable floor in my older MK2 VRS so I removed it before sale and have adapted to fit into the new octavia. Its not perfect but it is is servicable and was quite straightforward. the steps were: 1) remove fitting hardware and cut the side pieces to length. I ended up cutting about 70mm from each side to accommodate the raised lip at the side of the rear 2) carefully remove carpet from the front of the raised floor and trim to fit. I thought the boot ledge was straight, but in fact it has a slight curve to it. As a result there is a small gap at the front of mine 4) refit carpet using spray glue/staples and tidy. 5) fit a piece of brace wood at the front to give some stability to the structure. 6) install side pieces and brace. 7) fit floor on top using existing mounting bolts 8) bask in your reflected glory unfortunately the lashing points on the mk2 which the boot floor used to secure to the car run at right angle to the ones in mk3 so I wasn't able to reuse them. I'm going to locate some right angle joints on the outside to hook under the lashing points to give some more stability. However, given that it cost nothing apart from some spray glue I'm pretty pleased with the result Heres some pictures:
