[QUOTE="Walking W, post: 1724319, member: 24986"] I replaced my trailer floor with untreated yellow pine 2X8s 2 years ago. I covered most of it with 3/4 inch plywood and the front area with the best of the old boards I removed. I then painted it all with floor paint and added sand for traction. I didn't think to check the floor before loading a couple for the sale. In-route, they knocked a hole in the floor where the old boards were reused. I was lucky, they only got a scratch and not downgraded. When I checked the floor, it was rotten. I think the old boards were carrying whatever micro-organisms cause the rot. I was wondering, Has anyone used expanded metal with extra support beams for flooring? I like the idea of easy cleaning, air floor for drying out, something that won't rot and that can be repaired a section at a time as needed. [/QUOTE]
