That would not have worked on our trailer, as the slots were
dimensioned for finished lumber.

I just bough 7 planks of 2” x 12” x 18’ apitong. Rough
sawn so they really are 2” thick.
And I bough the fancy oil. It was $8.70 per square
foot.
Supposed to be much stronger than oak.
Funny, locally on craigslist someone is selling old
boxcar oak flooring for 5 times this amount.

Everyone recommends Apitong. Treated lumber
is not recommended, and I don't remember why. I ended up
just using redwood or something and then oiling it. They
say diesel fuel works really well too.
Does look nice. I am loading bulldozers,
mini excavators, directional drills etc. I
worry about not using hardwood for the
strength.

I just recently re-decked our utility
trailer. The original planking was standard 2"
lumber (don't know what species). It lasted
for at least a decade before it started to
come apart.
I replaced it with 2x pressure treated doug
fir (2x6 and 2x8 to fit the available spaces).
After re-decking it, I double-coated it with
wood preservative/sealer. Came out pretty
nice.

My HDD almost fell through it last
night.
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.
