Trailer floor

[White Noise]

Any body put a new floor on an ifor williams plant trailer ?

 

Mines in need of replacing . Would Marine plywood be ok ?

 

Any hints or tips would be welcome . Thanks

Exterior quality ply is ok but it can be lethal when it gets slippy

 

Phenolic faced ply is better and not that much more expensive.

I redecked mine a while ago using phenolic ply. It has not survived well, delaminated and fungal growths. I am currently pricing to redeck in imported hardwood as used on commercial vehicles.

Good thought there. A lorry is a lot wider than the 5' 5 1/2" of an ifor so do-able.

A good excuse to visit Snows.
