Hi all
My hubby has bought me (actually himself) a little old trailer. Partly for me to use when completed and partly for him to have as a 'project'
It's a tatty little thing, but he got it for next to nothing and the important bits are good:
new floor, solid galvanized chassis, ramps solid...
now, the floor in there is new (6months) but wooden. it's solid but untreated. He was thinking of treating it, then putting rubber mats on top.
If he does that... what treatment should he use? Someone said yacht varnish... but it's expensive (according to man in hardware shop who said Ronseal would be just as good).
But... my hubby is thinking of putting a proper waterproof floor on instead- like plastic or something and sealing it. Is this a good idea? Thoughts? Where do you get the plastic from? What's a cheap way to do this?
ps trailer is one of those very cute old fashioned Sinclair trailers with a sneaky little front ramp.
pps it's A LOT of work ahead...
