I have a 5x8 utility trailer that I need to put decking on. It has a steel mesh bottom. I'm wondering what wood to use?
Mainly just hauling landscaping stuff, dirt, rocks, gravel.
Could forsee furniture.
Was thinking of using regular 1x6. Everything I'm reading says 2x6 or 8, 10. From what I've read treated lumber is really heavy and a sealant will be fine.
2x seems like overkill and more weight than desired.
Do you all think 1x6 is too thin even w mesh bottom?
