[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1724505, member: 40335"] In my original post i said that i covered the treated 2x10's with treated plywood too. BUT that was ONLY after the original treated 2 year old treated 2 x 10 floor had started getting dodie. The only reason i put the treated plywood on top of the dodie 2 year old treated 2 x 10 floor was for a quick fix. I was needing to haul cattle to the sale barn, move cows to winter pasture ext..., and felt my plywood quick fix would hold up long enough to do what i needed done. And i ripped all that floor, plywood and all out the first chance i got time to do it and put a new floor. Wouldn't have done my quick fix to begin with if i had the least little bit of concern it could have fail through with a load of cattle. But i still knew it was something that had to be taken care of and the sooner the better. It's like alot of things that goes with farming. You have to use alot of common sense and make things work even if its a temporary fix to get the job done. Personally i wouldn't use plywood for flooring in a stock trailer because it won't let water run off very fast if any at all and speeds up the rate that it will rot treated or not treated. Wood floors in stock trailers in my opinion regardless plywood, plank, oak etc... need to be looked at if not replaced every two years. Even if you wash them out after everytime you use them and park them under the shed. And trying to keep my trailer washed out is next to impossible for me. I use it way too often to rely on washing it out after i am done with it. Wood treated or not rots. I think a new plank floor thats not covered with plywood until it starts getting dodie will last longer than if it had been covered with plywood because. All the cow piss and green grass **** water and rain water can drain out through the cracks between the planks of the floor. Where a plywood floor will hold the water making the floor rot out faster.
