I'm no expert ok? How thick is the lumber? Like 1x6 t&g? Is there a frame around it? Not sure how your wagon is built or what it's going to haul. Most wood that is left outside will shrink eventually. Especially if left unfinished. So I guess I'd make the joints tight. I put a new deck on an 8X16' flat bed truck once. I used 5/4 X 8" white oak planking. That stuff is pretty stiff but it had a heavy welded frame - factory built - around the flat bed. I used a high lift jack and a bottle jack plus a bunch of C clamps to force fit the lumber flat, straight and Tight. Then I drilled and carriage bolted it all down to the steel ribs underneath. It was unfinished. In the 3 years I owned it afterwards It did not swell, buck or sag sitting outside. Was on a 48 Diamond T that I had. That's about all I know. Except; Old timers here tell about the hapless wood buyer who gets a few pieces of "pine" thrown into their cord. Except is wasn't pine it was Tamarack. Hot, hot fire would have their stove, chimney, sometimes even house glowing bright red. And, I wouldn't use deck stain. That stuff flakes off and looks worse in a few years than if you'd left it raw. Pictures are always welcome.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
