I'm looking at renewing my floor in my Bateson Ascot, and would love hear feedback from others that have, or are going to do the same, together with an idea of cost.
Currently I have the original part timber and part steel floor. One of my horses has a terrible habit of weeing in my trailer. Every time he does, I whip out the mats and wash it down. Through doing this, the galvanised steel is started to show surface rust and an inch square of the wood is wearing at the back.
With the urine issue, I didn't think another wooden floor would be worth while as it'll inevitably need replacing more frequently. Not unless anyone could recommend a treatment to protect the floor?
I read about the full alloy floors, but they corrode after a period of time. Again, thinking of my monster tinkling.
Then I read on the Bateson site about the plastic material floors and wondered if that would be the better option. (I did note their fault in 2011 when 50 trailers were recalled)!
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
