Rene: NO millimetres for Jerry.

Roughly is just approximate. Keep in mind I'm used to measuring in thousands of inch. Even that is approximate with a caliber. You have to use a micrometer to be exact. Just saying. LOL

It's a combination TIG and stick welder. I was obviously using the stick side of it that time.

While I agree the cost difference and cost of rubber mats, plus it depends on the thickness you are using, are not cheap. For my own trailer hands down I would do it this way as it's only about when the horses are in the trailer, but after they have used it many people like to be able to easily rinse out every "non-scoopable" and when you have wood it will eventually go bad and not have a place to drain correctly or a place where the water wells up.

I'm so sorry that happened. It was not a first and likely won't be a last. This is more of a trailer maintenance issue where every X many years the floor simply needs to be replaced and these are not delicate boards, but I have a 3 horse trailer so the weight of 3 full maybe 1,200 animals moving on these boards is at risk and a cheap horse can be $5,000 and an expensive one for the average owner can reach into the tens of thousands so these are not risks people normally take with their animals. The issue is that urine and other body functions eat away at wood faster than just water. We don't put metal under any level of the flooring because it holds water regardless of how well you think you have everything draining. What I can tell you is most or many people have a camera in their horse trailer to see how their horse(s) are doing in the trailer in back and we can feel every shake and movement in the cab of most pickups. A floor is either put in right or get it professionally done.

Yeah I was not impressed with the marine-grade plywood she brought home. I should have sent it back. I don't think they make it like they used to.

I bought it a number of years ago. I'm not in the shop at the moment but I believe it's very very similar to this one. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F281888878448

Excellent. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I will have to look into getting one before long. (Gotta wait on those checks to come in, lol.)

Heck no , it needs a window a.c. and slots and racks for instrument cases . And killer paint job, something totally wood looking.

Yes. These are all sheet metal that has simply been welded together. Other channels who do more welding specific jobs have cut the top of the trailer off as it was not worth taking the old paint and rust off as you would have been able to stick arms through the holes and patches would have looked like "farmer fixes". The roof itself is normally taken off directly above the part just above the windows on the trailer and a new one can be fashioned with sheet metal and attached and then everything is repainted. The roof normally requires at least 3 coasts of paint however as it has the most weather heavy job from the sun, snow, etc. unless it is stored inside.

The wood was rotted we took it out.

Shutup

Actually I've said no probably close to a thousand times in the last year. And that's not an exaggeration.
