Saw this trailer in Oklahoma this morning
with this deck, anyone know what this is or
where you can get it? Would like to check
it out for a trailer I'm going to do soon.

I see composite decking boards at the box stores here, but it has the edges rounded over, so that leaves some grooves in the floor. However, I did see tongue and groove composite flooring being used on one show, so it is available somewhere. Just haven't seen it in stores around here. Maybe some of the trailer dealers know where to get it.
 
Not much good for a trailer. On a house deck you can't space joists more that 16" on center or it will sag between them. It is heavier than wood also.
 
Neighbor has to replace his composite decking on rear deck to house. Manufacture said it must have been a bad batch. Didn't stand up to the UV. It received good ratings when it first came out, but didn't hold up long. So much for ratings. I remember when vinyl tops were put on cars, all the rage. 10 years later junk. How can anyone say my composite decking material will last forever? How can anyone say a light bulb will last for 10 years when they haven't been tested for 10 years?
 
That is what it is, I googled it. I won't be using it tho because it calls for crossmembers at 9-12". That's both too heavy and expensive. With the cost of the crossmembers and the extra for the floor I can redo a wood floor several times.
