New floor in the cattle trailer.

Replacing floor in stock trailer. The floor in my trailer is 2 1 2 years old. Replacing livestock trailer floor post by dawnrogerl fri jun 17 2011 1 01 am i have to replace my 16 ft. A wooden floor is pretty easy to replace just get the boards and fit them into the trailer although it s not always so straightforward. The new boards with a little tapping perhaps should slide into the channel at by the door of the trailer.

This is done by securing it with a few screws from the top side. The boards are run width wise about 6 and have bracing underneath they are not fastened but slip into a c channel on each end. Get your drill and screws. Pressure treated pine treated spf oak treated oak or something else.

I bout had a heart attack. The bull in that section weighs 2700 so it s a lot of weight per sq inch. And then how to get the new boards in it is an open stock trailer 14. The last board fit the final space with the same spacing as the rest of the trailer floor.

Can t seem to find a way to get the old boards out. I will be replacing. Removal takes longer than installing. The last step to complete this project is to reinstall the angle iron at the back of the trailer to cap off the ends of the boards.

I know i need to do top. I was trying to figure out what type of wood to go with. I am about to replace the floor of an 18 stock trailer. It normally comes in a 1200x2400 sheet but they can also get 1500 x 3000 which.

I can not get 2x oak so i am going to use pressure treated 2x. When i got there one of the boards on one side was completely gone. Measure internal size of floor required and call steel place and order the size you want they will cut it for you but there may be a surcharge. First trim the wood to fit snugly in the frame.
