I did that to one of my trailers years ago. It always cracks me up seeing people screw the new boards to the top and then shim it. I just stuck one end in and laid a 4x4 under the middle and it slid in. Granted I was using Doug Fir not Oak! This reminds me I need to replace another trailer floor.

Look at the end grain of the boards when laying deck boards. Have the grain curve up in the center of the board. That way the edges wont curl up on ya.

I never seen it done like that before. the purpose of the boards fitting in the ends is to not use screws 16' and under and one to two rolls of screws in the middle on longer trailers. this is so if you have to replace one board you don't have all the screws to deal with.

Lots of recipes for trailer deck treatments out there but here's another: 3 parts kerosene,1/2 part linseed oil and 1/2 part beeswax. Per gallon it is 3 quarts kerosene,1 pint linseed oil and 1 pint beeswax.But any light oil that will soak into the wood is good.

well after reading your comment i now know exactly how you must fell everyday. i know that i have no idea what the hell you are talking about "fender washer" on an equipment trailer does not work. there is not an equipment trailer made by any company that does not attach the boards in the same way he has in the video. my original statement was only meant to instruct him on a way to make the job easier and more productive. "fender washer" do you wake up in a new world each day or what?

Lmao. Yes. 3/8" ,bolt drilled thru the deck boards on the edge of the channel with thick cupped fender washers that bite under the inside lip of the channel But. Im only imagining it in my pea sized brain. Maby ive duct tape over my eyes. Since ive only redecked the many 35 and 50 ton drop decks. And multiple 20 and 25 ton tag trailers ive owned. To haul my damm equipment all over kingdom come. A few years ago. Your cheaper trailor companies popping up all over the place started using the junk self tapping shit. That in return rot channel. And always braking. So i guess the worlds sheep. Follow on using the junk everywhere. And big difference if your i. A state using road salt. But hey im just a idiot
