Trailer walkway
Submitted by Cruise Control on Sat, 2014-02-15 17:07
Hi Guys
I want to install a walkway on my new trailer.
I dont want aluminium as its too slippery so I was thinking if I can locate some style of non slip grating that can be cut to fit and bolted on. What comes to mind is the grating that they are using on new jetties such as at Cockburn. Maybe some form of recycled high impact plastic in say a 30mm square grate.
I have done some looking but cant seem to find anything, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find this or perhaps a suitable alternative. Centres for fixing are at 900mm and I think that a width of 300mm would be good. Overall length of the walkway to be 3300mm.
All suggestions welcome apart from a night visit to a new jetty ! 
cheers

I just use a lump of pine about 200mm wide and it works great.I have got it tied on as I did not want to drill any holes in the trailer.
