You're worring too much. I haul wheat and it doesn't leak. The key is that the boards shouldn't be wrapped. When you sit them edge to edge they should touch the full length, you be able to see light through the edges but it's from the rough cut slivers holding it apart. Then the gap is less then the wheat kernels. Really don't want the board wrapped the other way either but if so put a 2X4 across the board and screw them in, one board pulls it's neighbor into line. Like I said in my earlier post the whole tailgate is boards--except the bottom two boards. They sit outside the upper ones, in a channel, and are lifted out at the elevator for dumping. This means there is a gap between the upper boards and the lower ones. I've seen this gap be 1 1/2 inches and wheats doesn't leak out. There is a little overlap of the boards--maybe 1 inch which makes the dump area total of 10 inch high and 7 1/2 feet wide. They dump 10 18 wheelers an hour with this system.
