[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 435759, member: 22374"] I'm starting a minor refurbish on my 2010 mini trailer and while I have the bunk boards off I'm going to replace them. I'm wondering about using plastic 2x4's or 2x6's laid flat. I know the plastic lumber has a tendency to warp but the span between the trailer cross pieces is only 2 1/2 feet, and my board length will only be 4 (5 at the most) feet so the short distance between cross pieces and minimal overhang on either end "should not" promote warping. My questions are, has anyone here used plastic lumber? With it being so slippery is carpeting needed? Or since it is so slippery does carpet add some friction that you really need? If it did not need carpet, I would taper and round off the ends where the boat contacts the lumber. [/QUOTE]
