    it's really nice stuff, and the dirt just falls between the slats.



    edit: I like this avatar better, but this is rob, or rod, or whoever posting.
    Courtney....er, Rod, er Rob........ If you talk to that guy, assuming the stuff he sells is TREX or something similar......ask him if he knows of anyone who's used it to re-floor a trailer! Not like a semi trailer, but like a 16' flatbed used to haul tractors, mowers, feeders, junk, stuff, and other things.......and how it worked please.

    Thank you sir......er, ma'am......uh, wait.....what ??

      It's not solid like trex -- it is hollow -- I'll find a picture of it.

      It is commonly used for horse trailers, if that gives you any idea how well it will work for a utility trailer.

          That is what they use on my lease, looks like a pallet designed to hold 4 55 gallon drums. They wont let me have one

            For mine I just laid a couple of landscaping timbers on the ground and then placed more crossways on top of them. Used some 6" long screws to tie them together. I think it is 4'X8' and is a heavy sumbuck. Kind of a rough surface but it is about 7 years old and still in pretty good shape because the lumber is treated. Perfect height for stepping into the trailer. Small step up to get on the porch and a small step to get in the trailer. Except when I forget to duck my dang fool head going through the door
