[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1487145, member: 17493"] Pressure treated is garbage for trailer decking. MFGers dont use it either. Do you want a trailer deck full of perferations? I dont want tiny holes all over my decking. Just use normal ol 2x6s. Then paint them if your really worried. Think about this, the cheap crap on it now lasted ten years, do you really think you will have the same trailer in ten years? If you do then it will have earned another new deck by then. Get decking screws for this purpose. They are awesome. Remember the lazier and cheaper ya go will determine how long it lasts. Most trailer companies only shoot one row of screws on the middle crossmember and then cap the ends with flatbar to save time and money. That lets the boards flex up and down each time your tire crosses a crsmembr. If ya screw the deck boards to EACH crsmembr then they cant flex up and down and will last WAY longer. [/QUOTE]
