Just ordered a new enclosed trailer wondering what to use on the bottom of trailer to protect the plywood from carbides and studs? I know there is ski guides and track mats but there has something that will cover the whole trailer bottom that will hold up and look decent. I contacted line-x and they said it wouldn't hold up to the studs, they tried it before and ripped it up. I've been searching the internet for the last couple of days. thanks

zimms, try talking to a speedliner dealer, my freind mixes kevlar in their coatings, i'm not sure if it will do what you want because he hasn't tested it in that application, worth a call though, will increase the $$.

What is a speed liner, I will try to look it up on the internet. thanks

Speedliner is another spray in bedliner. I have it on my pickup, and it seems to hold up pretty good, but I doubt it would hold up to studs. I've had to get a couple nicks and scrapes touched up.

I think if I were in your situation, I'd go to Home Depot or whatever and look for some indoor outdoor carpet, or some of that black rubber mat on rolls. Often they will have the end of a roll, or something with a blemish pretty cheap... I'm sure it wouldn't hold up forever, but when it got trashed you could replace it. Two layers might be good, depending on how gnarly these studs are...

The other choice might be laying down some cheap plywood, or just put down some stainless diamond plate.

Thats not a bad idea, maybe have to check out home depot and see what they have available. Some thin rubber pieces or plywood would probably work as long as the main decking didn't get ripped up. thanks

Old conveyer belting would work great. Not very pretty however.

I had a trailer with indoor/outdoor carpet on the deck. Looked good and was easy to sweep off when it got dirty but I didn't like the way it held moisture against the plywood deck.

Whatever you put down I would suggest doing a good job of sealing the plywood deck to protect it from water damage.

It already has treated plywood on it, would there be any benefit to treating again?

Yes, do a search on the net for "garage floor matt" There are several companies that make very thick rubber matts with channels built in for water/mud channelling. These are perfect for our enclosed trailers.
