I have been needing to replace the carpet on the boards that are on the side of my boat trailer.
I don't know if you call them bunks or what when they are on the side but I am talking about the ones with the red arrow below.
Anyway, The wood is a treated 2X6 and it appears it is still in good shape but it has about 15,281 nails, staples & tacks in it from years of people replacing the carpet and just laying it over what's there.
Would you go back with just another treated board or would you go with that plastic wood stuff?
I have no idea what you call it and I am old enough that wood will probably last me the rest of my life anyway, just thinking about going that route.
Wonder if the hassle of attaching carpet to the plastic stuff would be worth it? No clue how hard that stuff is and how I would even attach the carpet if a regular staple gun wouldn't penetrate it?
Oh and one of the bolts that holds one side on broke so I am gonna have to work on it regardless is another reason I am even messing with it.
