[SEL] Decking for trailer

[Gary Epps]

It's time to replace the flooring on my engine/tractor hauling trailer.
After five years the original flooring is weak.  What is the preferred
decking material?  I have not thought much about metal, though that is
certainly an option.  Wood is generally more forgiving.  I am considering
treated 2"x 8"x16'.  Another possibility is oak from the local sawmill.  It
would be green and I wonder about the thickness after it is seasoned.  Any
recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
