So anyone found a good oil or whatever to put on their trailer beds that doesn't slip after it is absorbed?
My new single axle trailer has a wood bed, but it sure could use a coat of something to inject some moisture. All help appreciated. |

Treat it like a deck & seal it w/ Thompsons water seal, both top & bottom.

All the ones I've ever used were so "well treated" by the oil that my cars leaked that they never needed anything else...

When I had a wood deck trailer I thought about treating it with that "restore" paint. I did our front deck with it a few years ago and it seems to hold up well, not sure how it would do with cars on it?
In the end I just replaced the bad boards with treated lumber and all was good for the next 5yrs then I sold that trailer and got a steel deck one. |

cabot clear water proofing. or one of the light opaque versions if you want non-pigmented finish. use their cleaner/brightener first.

linseed oil. cheap and works well to protect the wood from rot also is non-slippery.
