Hey guys, I am getting ready to put a new wood floor on my open trailer. I was thinking of using a good stain and sealer. Just curious what all of you have used in the past?
 
rinoliner it and forget it
 
I agree.

Staining it wont last if you use bleach. Sooner or later some will get spilled and that will pull out the stain. The floor will look bad, and the protection will be gone.
 
I use treated lumber decking.... Its cheap enough to replace once a year if I have too......
 
But that is a major hassle.

I have steel floors on my trailers, either expnaded metal, or Diamond plate on the one I did not build. I have yet to replace a trailer floor.
 
Thanks for all of your help, it is appreciated, Erik
 
I use to work for a landscaping company and when we changed the oil in the trucks we moped the used oil on the trailer floors. I worked there 4yrs and never seen them replace a trailer floor. And they would leave grass clippings in direct contact with the floor for days at a time.
 
Rhinoliner Is Awesome.. My Whole Floor In My Box Truck Is Done In Rhinoliner.... I Also Hear Good Things About Linex As Well... I Have It For Alsmost 5 Years And It Looks Brand New...its Worth Every Penny.. The Other Option If You Want To Do It Yourself Is To Go To Autozone , Pepboys Or R&s Strauss And Buy Herculiner Its A Very Good Product... These Stores Only Sell It In Black .. If You Go To Herculiners Website You Can Order It In Gray .. I Used This Product On The Whole Underneath Of My Box It Holds Up Awesome... This Would Be The Cheapest Alternative And Would Hold Up The Best Opposed To Stains And Paints..
 
I went ahead and put the Herculiner on the floor of the trailer and it worked ok, had a problem with the rubber flakes clumping together. Next time I will just pay the money and have it professionally sprayed.

I hate wood....
 
the problem with herculiner is that most of the time it sits on the shelf at these stores for over a year or so .. i had to learn that the hard way then i called the company .... on wood you should ruff it up and then if you put a fairly new herculiner on it it will hold great.. i would put 2 coats at least.... its a good product ... the clumps are due to sitting on the shelf for some time... you can thin the product out as well .. you dont want to work out of an open can.. you want to pour the amount you need and cover it with plastic..... .. you will get professional results if all the steps are in order...
