I hear hemlock is also good and long lasting for trailer decking. Not sure how available that is for you out there. Plentiful here in NY.

They commonly mill true 2" thick oak or ash for trailer decking. I think it was around $700 to do a 25x8.5 trailer. Appropriate thickness will be determined by the equipment and the crossmember spacing on the trailer.

Was thinking of using pressure treated soft wood. Love to find some oak. But I see that there is a wood called apitong that many swear by. Soft wood might be too weak. Not sure what was there originally, perhaps oak. Have not found 3” oak planks anywhere. I have found 3” apitong. Any comments would be appreciated. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
