You MUST treat the ends and any cuts with 3-4 coats of preservative AND be sure there's a gap between the boards ! ANY 'standing ' water will eventually rot a board. 3rd. clean the trailer top and bottom !,keep deck tilted,in the sun and wind. If it's dirty and under trees, moisture invites mold and bugs and rot...
Just like your deck, fence or other outdoor wood surfaces, your trailer deck requires a sealant to keep out moisture.
Do you have an enclosed trailer that needs a little lovin'? Try installing an epoxy floor! An epoxy floor will help keep the trailer looking nice, and since it's so easy to clean, your trailer will stay looking great!
It is always wise to use pressure treated boards when flooring a trailer. Any material that you would brush on the surface would not penetrate very far into the wood. Might help some if you would surface treat it two or three times each year.
Any deck sealer will do. Clear or tinted if you choose. If you want something more durable then look to bedliner or epoxies.
Marine grade plywood is great, but it's not intended to span much distance unsupported. Solid wood boards are much more prone to cracking, but will probably be thicker and able to support more load without deflection assuming you get the right kind of boards.
You definitely want pressure treated. It is treated with chemicals that keep it from rotting in the weather or being attacked by bugs. Nontreated wood wont last more than a year.
The most common species in use today on flatbeds, drop decks and open or exposed trailers is a hardwood called Apitong which is also known as Keruing.
