Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are commonly used for trailer decking?

Trailer decking is typically constructed from various materials, each offering distinct advantages:


Hardwoods: Species like Apitong (Keruing) and Brazilian Apitong (Angelim Pedra) are renowned for their exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. ​


Softwoods: Treated pine and Douglas fir are more affordable but generally less durable than hardwoods.​

Plywood: Often used in enclosed trailers, plywood provides a smooth surface but may lack the strength required for heavy loads. ​


Metal: Steel or aluminum decking offers high strength and longevity but can be heavier and more expensive.

How can I extend the lifespan of my trailer deck boards?

To prolong the life of your trailer decking:

Regular Cleaning: Remove dirt and debris to prevent moisture retention, which can lead to rot.​

Protective Coatings: Apply high-quality sealants or finishes to shield the wood from moisture and UV damage.​

Proper Storage: Store the trailer under cover or use a tarp to protect it from harsh weather conditions.

What type of screws should I use for installing trailer decking?

Selecting the appropriate screws is crucial for securing your decking material:

2" screws: Suitable for 1-1/8" thick decking.​

2-1/2" screws: Ideal for 1-3/8" and 6/4 thicknesses.​

3" screws: Used for 7/4 and 8/4 rough decking.​

3-1/2" screws: For 8/4 rough decking when extra length is desired.

4" screws: Appropriate for 12/4 or 3" rough decking.

How often should I inspect and maintain my trailer decking?

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of your trailer decking:

Inspection: Conduct thorough inspections periodically to identify signs of wear, damage, or rot.​

Cleaning: Clean the decking regularly to remove dirt, debris, and moisture.​

Reapplication of Protective Coatings: Reapply sealants or finishes as needed, typically once a year, to ensure ongoing protection.
