Shiplap Trailer Decking

Shiplap Trailer Flooring

A trailer floor requires lumber that withstands regular use, protecting the load from water spray and dirt kicked up from underneath your rig. That's why hardwood shiplap trailer flooring is the standard profile used on most flatbed and enclosed trailer decks. At TrailerDecking.com, we source our shiplap trailer decking directly from manufacturers and inspect the material ourselves, so you get consistent quality from a knowledgeable team that knows trailer flooring. Each board is milled with a rabbeted (shiplap) edge that overlaps the adjacent board, which ties the deck together, sheds water at the seam, and lays up into a tight, flat surface.

We stock shiplap pattern trailer decking in two dense tropical hardwoods: Angelim Pedra, aka Brazilian Apitong, and Keruing, aka Genuine Apitong. Both species are kiln dried for dimensional stability, and graded for the highest quality boards available - essentially a clear, defect-free board. Whether you're replacing a full deck or repairing a worn section, browse our shiplap trailer decking to find a sturdy material for your trailer.

Shiplap boards come in a 5-inch face (5-3/8 inch overall width) and a 7-inch face (7-3/8 inch overall width), in thicknesses from 1-1/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch. Fingerjointed lengths are also stocked where fixed length long clear boards are required.
