Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
Finally found a product I hope lasts more than a year for my trailer deck. I had been using a "high quality" water based deck stain but had to redo every year. Stopped in to a local paint store where the owner has been really helpful in the past.
He recommended Penofin Blue Label
I had to sand off the remnants of the latex stain - not a bad job with an 80 grit paper on the belt sander for the large areas and on the palm sander for the edges and around the D-rings. The sanding also gave me opportunity to smooth out the knots and raised edges.
Aron and I got the 1st coat on in about 30 minutes. Still need to put another coat on. As soon as we started I really liked the look. The color I chose is "Sable".
I forgot to take a picture before sanding but here is what it looked like after sanding;
Just starting;
1st Coat;
Thanks for looking.

Re: Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
Took the thread concerning Gary & Kristy Bailey to heart and added jacks to the tail of my trailer.
Prayers for Gary & Kristy Bailey
Bought two (2) Pro Series 2,000lb Swivel Side Handle Jacks online from Hitch Shops for $76 incl. shipping. Ordered them last Friday and they arrived on Wednesday.
Step #1: Layout
Step #2: Set up
Step #3: Tack Weld
Step #4: Aron Welding
Step #5: Finished
Step #6: Jack Mounted & Trailer Lifted (this will make changing a tire easy!)
Step #7: Jack Swiveled for Travel
All that's left is to prime & paint the welded socket.
Once I get the tailgate repaired , we'll give it a test run.

Re: Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
Super design and fab, Peter [Aron, too]
Great side benefit = changing tires via the jacks.

Re: Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
Your jack setup is almost exactly like what I did. I think you will really like them and you are right, they make changing a tire so much easier!

Earlier this summer Aron's 1995 Ford Ranger had a wheel bearing seize. Off to the rescue with the trailer. Unfortunately the expanded metal grating does not hold up too well under the weight of a Ford Ranger. Even using the trailer for the Cub there was beginning to be a pretty good sag in the mesh. Aron and I had previously talked about welding in some reinforcing angles under the mesh. Now we are looking at replacing some or all the mesh with something a little more stout.
...and now you know the rest of the story.

When you finish your reinforcements, please post some photos, because I was planning on adding some angle iron to the ramp on my "new" 18' trailer for the same reason, and if you come up with something better, I would love to see it!
I really like your jacks! Want to do another one in NC?! Or I will be in VA next weekend!!??

Re: Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
Seeing this post brings to mind my experience with my trailer last winter. I had purchased a new trailer the previous spring and decided to give the deck boards a coating to help stave off weathering damage. I purchased a gal. of Thompson's Weather Seal. After I poured it into my roller tray and started applying it, I was dismayed to discover that it was a water-based product, not the petroleum product that I had used in years past. It was obvious that it was not being absorbed into the wood as the older Thompson's did. I am wondering if they no longer manufacture the earlier product, as I could not find it on their web site. Fortunately, I was able to find a gallon of left-over Thompsons petroleum product the next time I went to our Miss. farm. It was from a project that I had done several years ago. I can't help but believe that the water-based treatment is less effective that the petroleum product which soaks into the wood, rather than sitting on top as a film.
Since retirement, the things I miss most are the holidays!

Re: Refinished the Trailer Deck & Added Tail Jacks
You will pay dearly for that gallon of Penofin, but it's worth every penny!
I used it on an Arbor 7 years ago and it is still beading and shedding water today. Great Product!
