Treated 3/4" plywood and porch/stair paint. Or if Menards still has it on sale, get the small kit for garage floors. Two coats of paint on each side, let it dry. Then the third coat for the top and throw the flakes in. The inside of my trailer turned out very well and is durable. It will hold up in the weather too.

I'd just use green plywood. I had a 4x8 menards trailer, that i used as a single place snowmobile trailer, and after 3 season, the wood still looked great. I didnt do anything do it, except drive a snowmobile up and down it, and tow it behind a 4x4 bronco to the UP and SW Michigan. It'll hold up fine.

Also, I'd suggest getting thicker wood, like 3/4 maybe, if you are gonna use the recessed type hooks. I think those are the best kind. We have both types installed in our work trailer (motorcycle shop) and it see's alot of use. The one's you posted are still in great condition, but the other non-recessed ones are bent and falling apart.

I'd also recommend getting a small piece of diamond plate where the kickstand would be, if you install a permanent chock. If you tie it down, with the stand down, when you hit bumps it'll damage the wood in that area.

So I'm laying down plywood on the trailer this weekend. I want to make the wood durable. I was thinking about laying down some sort of sealer (Rhino Liner or something similar) or even vinyl tiles or something. Anyone have any suggestions? Or is this just a waste of time for an open trailer?

Erik...

That epoxy flooring is on sale at Menard's. Preety good price - better than what I paid for it when I did mine.

if anyone needs smaller pieces of diamondplate or steelbar, angle iron, or what ever, i can get it from my job. we have a whole fab area and always have lots of things left over. just let me know what its gonna be needed for and the dimentions i can also do welding

What would you suggest for the seam running accross the middle of the trailer where the two sheets of plywood come together? How can I keep them flush? There is no support beam below the seam so I cannot bolt them down there. I was thinking about using mending plates to hold the edges together. Any other ideas?
