[QUOTE="simme, post: 1724394, member: 40418"] My opinion. Untreated pine for a trailer floor is going to have a very short life. Covering it with plywood traps moisture on the boards and makes it worse. Any pine in this area should be pressure treated and not covered with plywood. Plywood on the floor of a livestock trailer is bad. Leave small gaps between the boards so that they can drain and breathe. Oak will last a long time, but you need to find someone who will saw it to dimensions that fit. Or get that expensive composite floor. Long life, but heavy and expensive. [/QUOTE]
