Pros/cons of wood vs steel deck

buy that shit and use it, when it bends or cracks fix it, odds are it won’t do that before you sell it lol. I have had a lot of wood decks and have one now, they last for years just keep it clean, also they are not as slippery at metal deck trailers.

amo is made in Toledo. I have been thinking about getting a 16’ myself.

4" is fine but it'll be a little flexy. The lack of the wood being captive would concern me.

I used to think a steel trailer deck would be sweet...
Until I had one.

Everything slides on it.
You can't screw wood blocking to it if you need to.

For open trailers I have two. A 5x10 single axle no brakes with a filled (14 gauge steel) crash rail around it that is 12" tall. Wood floor, slide in ramps 60" ramps. Spare tire hangs underneath. The other is an 18+2 wood deck, two spare tires underneath, pinned fenders, and slide in 80" ramps.

Their most basic trailer going to be fine for what you're doing. Call and see if they have any used ones? It says they get trade ins?? I replace the wood on mine once and we went with 2X12's. That was 10 years+ ago and still looks great, no rot. Stored outside 24/7. 16ft with welded on 12" dovetails, you don't need an actual dovetailed trailer design fromy experience. putting someone wood blocks under the back of the trailer while load definitely takes the stress off of it.
