I am replacing the floor of my stock trailer. Almost found out the hard way the old one was bad.
We had used rough red oak about 15 years ago and it looked good but had dry rotted. While I was loading some cattle to haul across the road a 800 pound steer broke through. Sure glad it happened while we were sitting still.
Shook me up to think what could have happened.
Anyway am replacing it with treated pine. I know it is not the best, but all I could come up with quick.
I replaced quite a bit of metal also, including the angle iron that sits on the ends of the boards.
Now the hard part, does anyone have an ingenious idea for bending 1 1/2 angle iron in a half circle? Without me buying a $10,000.00 machine?
Or something other than angle iron.
I want it to fit snugly up against the walls.
