Trailer floor options

Headed to Jennings this weekend and just ran a swifter wet sweeper over my rubber coin flooring. I love this stuff.

 

I need to get one of those things... looks good..

 

I'm looking at getting a trailer with 7' interior height and i think i'll put that flooring in it instead of painting.

 

Do it... you won’t regret it.. just get black..

 

Large coin or small coin?

Black to hide scuffs?

 

Mine has the rubber coin type flooring but it's a raised cross hatch. Looks like rubberized expanded metal. Works really well. Don't get it we though. I would highly recommend a strip of grip tape on the ramp for traction. I bit it loading up at Roebling in the rain.

 

The place where I purchased my enclosed trailer coated it with bedliner. They hadn't tried it before on a wooden trailer floor and asked if I was willing to be their guinea pig. That was in 2002. Still looks perfect.

 

My rubber coin is grippy not slippery. The wood was slicker when wet?

 

I have the same in the pic... yes Black to hide scuff’s. You cant avoid that or paint on your hot tires with a painted floor...

 

Yes rubber coin or bed liner. If you spill any gas or oil on deck paint, it will peel.

 

Covering your wood in rubber is always a good idea.

 

Are you guys gluing the coin down or running fasteners around the perimeter?

 

I think you can have issues with creases if you try to glue or fasten it down and the temp fluctuates a lot and the material expands/contracts.

Buddy of mine runs the coin flooring in his BBQ competition trailer and just left it "floating" and hasn't had an issue. Obviously that won't work on the ramp door.....

 

Mine was one solid piece. I cut it to fit. I did glue the edges. Haven’t had any problems. As for the ramp I fastened it down with mechanical fasteners.
