I need to protect the wood floor. Line x does not like to spray wood. Has anyone tried roll rubber roofing for protection?

Garage floor epoxy with skid tex. Just make sure it's really clean.

I used that herculies bedliner in a can...worked well then slid a 3/4 plywood over it with out coating...works great no problems for I guess three or four years now.

The rubber would be slick when wet.....I'd go with Patrick.

I think I'll need to do something this winter to better protect the floor of my trailer. I have plywood over part of it and it seems to help protect the mesh floor. However the part that isn't covered is rusting away big time.

I used 3/4 treated plywood to cover the entire floor on my open trailer. its deffinately taking some abuse. BUT it does get rinsed often.

I painted the floor of my box truck two years ago with garage floor epoxy and added skid tex... it get abuse and rinsing but will need another coat after this season. The skid tex made all the difference.

Erik that 3/4 plywood does get some nice deep "scars "but it takes a licken!

I bought an $80 per gallon of a chemical resistant epoxy from Sherwin Williams. Hope to get a coat on tomorrow

my trailer gets both rinsed and rained on. For you enclosed trailer/truck guys maybe pick something that can be rinsed often enough.

Pat- so far so good with the 3/4. I wonder if dockbuilding marine lumber would do even better. dock lumber is treated 3x what regular pressure treated is.

Throw some skid tex on it after you apply the last coat. You will be happy you did it.
