[AT] Trailer floors (was) lots of saw mills

[Paul Waugh]

I am with Farmer on this one. I got 15 plus years out of the original floor 
on my 16 ft utility. A friend tried to get me to put fresh sawed timber in 
it. It was cheaper to use treated wood.  I have 3 years on the treated 
floor. It has about 2000 mi. on it. It carries tools, rock, manure, gravel, 
cars, and the list goes on. Still looks very new, if I can get 15 yrs out of 
treated wood, that is good for me. Probably does not look as impressive.

I just used treated "pine" (using the term loosely) on my last floor.
It seems to be doing well so far. Rough-sawn white oak will last well
and is not so slick when wet. It can add a lot of unnecessary weight
though to a lighter trailer.
