I am cracking on with the locost trailer transporter project.

I need to get it finished and moved before the pikies come back around

What to use for the decking ?

needs to be cheap-ish and able to with stand the weather.

your ideas please.

Plywood? External grade should do the job - marine if you got the monies.

I've used Stirling or is it Sterling board on my trailer. Every so often slosh some creosote over it and when eventually it rots replace it. Its very cheap and durable. I have thought of but never done it is to place a piece of galvanized 1mm steel over the top which would extend its life many times.
