well I am definitely oiling the trailer

I will ask them about the deck

it is probably 20 year old wood and was treated wood , but it needs something or it is going to fall apart

the steel roof dumps tons of snow on it

it would be really nice to pressure wash it , give it 2-3 weeks of august heat to dry it then oil it good
not sure that will happen so I will have to see
where it is at makes water and getting there both difficult


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

You won’t be sorry as long as it is still sound wood. We’ve done our trialers in the past with both #1 SYP treated and oak. I think the oiled oak will outlast my children…

Years ago I had a 68 Dodge pickup with a wooden bed. Replaced the rotted bed with pressure-treated pine and oiled it also. Worked well.

I built a 12' rough sawn, white oak, flat deck on the 350 farm truck. Oiled it up with new engine oil. Deck was still in great shape 20 years later when the truck was sold. Only touched it up a few times as needed.
