Quick question for those that have put bed liner on their trailer decks. Have you found it slippery with snow on it, or if you get more ice on the deck? No need to fall on my head just to protect some plywood I can do that with out any help. I am debating between guides to go with my matts or coating it. I have never played with the stuff how much of a pain is it to work with? Also any suggestions on which brand works best. Thanks, and THINK SNOW!

I bought the roll on bedliner from a local Grainger and it worked out great. It was easy to apply and looks good. I also added slides and a track mat. I will see this winter how it works out when wet but it shoind be ok since it went on a bit rough.

i've seen roll on bed liner and it was up around $40. i was thinking of just taking some color of paint and mixing lots and lots of sand with it. my parents a long long time ago painted a trailer deck red and with no grip, i wonder how that turned out

Just use deck stain. Done it for 8 years and still looks great. If you use bed liner, it will be more of a non-skid surface than the regular deck on your trailer.

The bed liner does a great job protecting the deck from your carbides and studs mostly when you need to back up, no digging into the wood.

Plus you only need to do it once.

I had the bed liner before the slides but I got a great deal on the slides and added them over the bed liner so I am double protected now.

I haven't put a thing on my trailer since new, it has always been stored outside, and the decking (Besides a couple screws that came out) looks just fine for being 10 years old.

And no, I don't think those screws fell out of my skull......Yet

I just bought a 4' X 8' sheet of plywood cut up in 8inch strips to use under the skis. Purpose is to protect the wood floor in the trailer since its used for motorcycles in the summer. Plywood is cheap and when it gets pretty cut up from the carbides just replace it.

I have Line X sprayed on the deck and utilize Caliber track mats where the studded sleds rest along with low pro glides along the floor and ramp doors. It's a 4 place enclosed Triton Prestige.

It's expensive but I have not found anything that looks as good or works as well.

The Line X is not slippery but the glides sure are.

Look it up on the net, I bought a gallon and did the outside and inside of my Jeep CJ7. you roll it on after mixing it with a curing agent they provide.

I can run over trees and bounce a wrench off the hood with out so much as a dent or scratch.

It comes in different colors also.

You could use a bed liner as guides for your carbides and track but be careful if you put in on the whole trailer. Non slide bed liners to become somewhat slippery when wet. Especiallyl with ice and snow. I would try the roll on cheap stuff. It will save you cash in the short run. Make sure you studs and carbides don't chip it before you spend the big bucks on a spray in type.
