Since I've completely hijacked SIGO's jeep transport thread with off topic trailer discussion, let me further pollute it with pictures of the 2x12 PT wood deck I've got almost complete... This is the 16k trailer. 16x6' usable deck space. The 19,800lbs trailer is going to get 3/16" plate.

"When it was wet out.." makes all the difference. Your idea actually has merit. I may implement it. My trailer will probably rarely be walked on or driven on and will mostly be loaded from the sides using a forklift and palletized items. Having sand available 'just in case' is likely the...

Dry sand on dry steel is also slick by the way. Extremely so. A handful of sand in a 5ton bed makes it dangerous to walk on.

I welcome any suggestions you may have. Slipperiness entered my considerations. Diamond plate would offset this to some extent, but I've got plain 3/16 plate lined up at $120 per 4x8 sheet. I thought to offset this by bedlining it with sand added to the bedliner. Or maybe black diamond...

After agonizing over the decision for weeks, I came to the same conclusion as you - I'm just going to use PT wood from the local lumber supplier. I got a 2nd similar trailer. The 2nd one is rated 19,800. I'm thinking I'm just going to use 3/16" steel plate for the deck on that one.

I've got this trailer rated for 16000 lbs. 72" between the wheel wells. 16' deck. I'll be making a deck for it using 2x12's. Appropriate ramps should be easy. What's your time line?

How wide are these?
