firstly, im kind of new to this forum and i think ive posted this in the right section but if not maybe a mod might move it to where it should be and ill learn.
I have an agri low loader here and the floor is starting to go in it so it needs replacing.
the floor that's in it right now is one i put in it yrs ago, i used imported treated 8"X2" in it last time.
it dosent normally see inside a shed tbh as they full with other stuff as it is so the floor gets a hard time in the elements.
this one didn't wear out, its rotting out of it.
so i need a new floor as soon as i get time to do it, my question is what timber could i use that would last a while longer or am i as far on with what im already using?
the stipulations would be,
it cant be any more than 2" thick.
it cant have oil in it because i don't want the digger looking to slide off it.
and it cant be the likes of teak as the machine still needs to have some form of grip on it or it id be like a skittle.
and id rather it wasn't a small fortune to buy either.
the only thing i thought of so far was cedar wood, afaik its good for the great outdoors so it would last but as to if its oily, or would be prone to being slippy when wet then im back to the drawing board.
anyone got any suggestions?
