FAQ
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to make your trailer deck boards last longer is through regular cleaning and inspection. Dirt, debris, and moisture can accumulate on the deck, leading to rot and decay over time. Use a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris. Then wash the deck with water and a mild detergent.
Foam flooring is a great choice for trailer flooring. It's lightweight, easy to , and provides comfort while absorbing shock. This means your trailer and its contents stay protected during transport. Plus, it's resistant to mold and mildew, which is perfect for moisture-prone cargo and wet weather.
If you need to use the wood within a couple days, a 50/50 mixture of used motor oil and diesel fuel works great. If you have a couple weeks to let the oil soak in, using only used motor oil, in my opinion, works best. It just takes a few weeks to soak in well and must be applied in heavy coats.
You MUST treat the ends and any cuts with 3-4 coats of preservative AND be sure there's a gap between the boards ! ANY 'standing ' water will eventually rot a board. 3rd. clean the trailer top and bottom !,keep deck tilted,in the sun and wind. If it's dirty and under trees, moisture invites mold and bugs and rot...
Sealant is the best way to protect wood trailer floors from damage. By adding a coating over the wood, you can prevent most types of damages.
Having a decent gap is good for the longevity of a deck as too small of a gap allows debris to get trapped in between the boards, the debris will trap moisture longer leading to rot.
Marine grade plywood is great, but it's not intended to span much distance unsupported. Solid wood boards are much more prone to cracking, but will probably be thicker and able to support more load without deflection assuming you get the right kind of boards.
Just like your deck, fence or other outdoor wood surfaces, your trailer deck requires a sealant to keep out moisture. Wood is an organic material that readily absorbs water, even from the air. When this happens, the wood expands and warps, leaving it disfigured even after the boards dry out.
