    Trailer floor suggestion

    **Mods, if this is in the wrong place feel free to move**

    I got an enclosed trailer from a co-worker of my dad recently. I have some E-track I'm going to put down and wheel chocks.
    My question is what should I put down on the plywood before I put the E-track down? I want something durable and that won't get slippery if it gets wet and/or dirty.
    Pictures, links, etc are appreciated! Thanks

    I'll take the frost heaves on a twisty road over a smooth slab any day of the week.

    a less expensive option is deck paint with grit mixed into it. i used black in my trailer and it has held up pretty well over the past 3 years.

    Bed liner paint would work too.

    FWIW; I put e-track down on plain ol' plywood and haven't had any issues with traction, wet, dry or otherwise

    I used 2-part garage floor epoxy with a double-down of the grit and it still gets a little slick when wet. But the epoxy is tough and holds up well to abuse. If using epoxy again I'd use a much more aggressive grit; the grit sold in the box stores is extremely fine and isn't is effective when used on wood.

    This deck restore product has a very rough surface and might be worth a look.

    I've done truck bedliner in a truck before. How well does it bond to wood? What kind of prep does it need for wood?

    I've always had linoleum on the floors of my trailers. The only time it's been slippery is when there was antifreeze on the floor. I just wipe up oil, etc. It looks nice and it's easy to sweep out.
