The bed of the trailer has done its job, so now a new one is needed. Preferably, I'd like to manage with a rough-cut board. The bed measures 1350X2600X12, so around that size or larger. Is 1500X3000 the nearest standard size?
Should one use form or marine plywood for a trailer floor? The trailer is a standard open single-axle trailer.

The old one had probably been in place for 20 years or so, but it was borderline to breaking through. However, some parts had been replaced and some (too) heavy things transported, such as a hökanon.
If you have the ability to keep it clean and stored indoors, the lifespan is probably eternal.

Thanks for the tips.
Checked with the local hardware store and it turned out they had a somewhat limited selection.
However, they do have a 1525X3050 sheet with a knotted side. Is it possible to turn one of those upside down? I want a deck where the load easily slides off.
The idea is also to countersink load eyes along the inside of the boards so that even low loads can be secured.

I ordered a new board for my cart. Bought it from 4P through an agent. The board is 1.8 x 4.0 m. I think it was 4.2 m, but the person who picked it up had to trim it for it to fit in his cart. My flatbed is 1.7 x 3.4 m, so it didn't matter. The old flatbed has really held up for a long time, even though it has carried much heavier loads than the 930 kg the cart is approved for. The cart is from '87. Yes, I had to pay 2500:- for the board.
The wear protection plywood at Beijer costs over a thousand kronor. 12x1250x2550... Surely available in larger dimensions.
Formplyfa 12x1250x2500 costs 350 bucks at Silvan. Not Mats_O's trailer, but for mine it worked perfectly fine! A cross joint over a beam since the trailer is 258 cm. Unbeatable price for a new platform, even though there might be flashier "real" boards for the purpose.
