    You won't enjoy shovelling anything off checkerplate.

    Hello Pod,

    Done it plenty of times. I used to be a Landscaper by trade. Getting a wood splinter that skimmed directly under the full length of my finger nail from a crappy old timber floor on a tray back ute is something I would prefer not to experience again. Admittedly during the later times the splinter did not reach all the way under the finger nail. However, it still brought back unpleasant memories. When I first saw the condition of Snowy - my Defender's timber floor tray I have to admit to cringing just that wee bit!

    Kind regards
    Lionel

    I'll never use steel for a ute tray again after using Synthetic eco wood (plastic / wood composite)

    Heavier than wood , but oil & slip resistant , UV stable , zero maintenance, 30 year guarantee & dont get hot so good for dogs . Expensive though. Used on my Power Wagon , its excellent. 450 between bearers Ekodeck from bunnings.

    Ecodeck is brilliant stuff - stands up to just about anything. My first experience with it was replacing the deck on the front verandah of my mum's house in Tassie. That was 10 years or so ago, and it still looked like new when I was down there last year.

    Bunnings here in Kalgoorlie had some 2.4m lengths surplus going cheap the other day - I ended up with the lot of it (about 18 lengths) on the roof rack of the Disco and it's sitting in the back yard at the moment. Some of it will be used to replace a few cracked timber boards on the front verandah - the rest will eventually find a good use. Might even use it to re-floor one of my trailers.
    Cheers .........
