[RC] Shaving & Trailer flooring - peanut2@xxxxxxxWell, I'll give my opinin on both subjects. 2 birds with one stone... LOL Until my present trailer, all of my trailers have had pressure treated lumber and matts for flooring. I didn't think it was hard to maintain this. I usually only removed the matts once a year and made sure the floor was clean and dry. I have the rumber flooring in my trailer. In hindsight, I would not get it again. While it is indestructable and should last forever. It does not drain. I have a mule that pees in the trailer and if I don't want the trailer smelling horrible, I have to rinse it out every time I haul. Which brings me to the reason for shavings. Since the floor doesn't drain (yes, some will run out the back but not all) I need something to absorb the pee. And I also think no shaving can make the footing slippery for the equines. I have ridden in my trailer to see how much air flow there was with the various vents and windows open or closed, and did not notice shaving blowing around at all. Nor do I ever find shaving on my equines after hauling. Cindy R. in Maine -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE ?
