Q: Do you carry the screws?

Q: What type of screw should I use?

A: Yes. We carry OEM quality screws with cutting threads. We offer 2", 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2" and 4" lengths. Which screw size is right for me? Depends on the thickness of your decking material - use 2" screws for 1-1/8", 2-1/2" for 1-3/8" and 6/4, 3" for 7/4 and 8/4 rough, 3-1/2" for 8/4 rough when you want a little extra length, 4" for 12/4 or 3" rough. There is some flexibility as well, depending on your under structure, joist material and thickness, etc. It's usually safe to have a minimum of 7/8" to 1" longer screws than the thickness of your decking. We keep inventory on all popular standard length screws so you can replace screws exactly as the manufacturer designed the original trailer.

Q: Do I need to treat my floor?

A: Certainly treating your floor with a high quality oil finish will extend the life of your floor and make it look great. And we always recommend you protect your investment.

Q: What species of wood do you recommend? What species do you carry?

A: Genuine Apitong aka Keruing is widely considered to be the best - practically all OEM's use this species for the toughest outdoor applications. We offer most of our popular sizes in Genuine Apitong. We also offer Angelim Pedra, sometimes called Brazilian Apitong. It's extremely close in performance to Genuine Apitong and is usually available at a slightly lower price than Genuine Apitong. Hardness, strength, stiffness and durability of both Genuine Apitong and Brazilian Apitong are practically the same.

Q: Where are you based out of?

A: Our offices are in Forest Grove, OR - with warehouses in Memphis, Forest Grove, Atlanta & more.

Q: Can I pick up my order?

Q: Does that cost?

A: We are more than willing to offer Will Call pick up for our customers. It still takes us a day or two to pull an order so please allow for plenty of time. Occasionally, customers just show up at the warehouse - that won't work - you have to order well in advance. There is no shipping charge for Will Call orders.

Q: How quickly can you ship?

A: Provided we have the material in stock, 1-2 days is typical; but sometimes, we do get backed up. We will confirm expected ship date when you place your order.

Q: What is transit time?

A: 5 days to 10 days, depending on distance from warehouse. If you are located within a few hundred miles from one of our warehouses, shipping can be as fast as 3 days.

Q: Can I request my lengths?

A: Yes, absolutely - there is a text box you can use to enter your requested lengths when you order online. Or you can just call in and make a length request. Or, after you order online, just give us a call to pick lengths. Need to note lengths run between 8'-24' in foot long increments and stock will vary so check before ordering if requesting a length.

Q: Do you cut to length?

A: No. All of our material is full length at a minimum. Most pieces are 1" to 2" over in length.

Q: Will you rip specific widths for starter or finish boards?

A: No. We cannot rip boards for you. We suggest using a table saw with a good quality carbide tipped blade and a straight fence. A cabinet grade saw with a minimum 3 HP motor works great for anything up to 2" thick. If the fence is misaligned, the hardwood will bind up and burn while cutting - alignment of the fence is the key to ripping quickly without burning.

Q: Do you charge a cancelation fee if I change my mind after I place the order?

A: If you cancel the order by emailing us back or calling within 24 hours of placing the order, there is no cancelation fee. After 24 hours we charge a 10% restocking fee to cover the handling of material to put it back into inventory.

Q: What's the difference between shiplap and rough boards for trailer decking?

A: Shiplap boards are milled on all sides to a smooth finish. Shiplap boards have an edge to edge lap joint, not a full tongue and groove - sometimes refered to as a "Z lap" pattern. Rough boards are generally band sawn or rip sawn on all sides. Rough boards are not cut to an exact size but are usually plus or minus 1/8" from the listed size. Boards can run as much as 1/4" over-size. Rough boards are more often used in heavy duty applications.
