so the owner removes 3/4, 75% of the Diamond plated STEEL and replaces it with wood?
Yep, sounds like a great idea..... ???????
There was a reason that trailer was DESIGNED the way it was with the steel plate that just happened to be diamond plate. I am not a fan of diamond plate, being in the steel manufacturing INDUSTRY for over 35 years. There are better options. But removing all that and using wood planks??
Let's see. The structural strength of real galvanized steel that should be powder coated with PRIMER after it was installed and then top coated with a Polyester gloss black would have kept corrosion away for a long time and this would have been heavier, but a lot more safe and structurally sound....
I don't know if I am missing something or not but that kind of bothers me....
