We've got an old Indiana Stave Silo and the wooden doors are starting to get in bad shape. The original doors are two layers of tongue and groove redwood, running 90 degrees of each other. I don't have a local source for redwood. I'm planning on using western red cedar, but I was wondering if any of you had any better suggestions.

I used two pieces of 3/4 inch plywood attached together with wood adhesive ( comes in a tube like caulking, silicone ,etc.) and then stapled using 1-1/4 " staples from air powered staple gun. You could also use nails. I painted them with several coats of enamel paint. They are holding up very well and should last many years.

My Dad fixed a floor in a flare box wagon a few years ago. He used Tongue and groove treated 2x6".

I just bought a few for my silo this fall and they were made out of marine grade treated plywood, would be easy to make and wouldn't have the screws or nails to hold them together, which can cause problems if they get into the silage.

The ones on ours are marine grade too,but made out ou full inch ply,not easy to get in most ares,unless you want a whole flat of it.
