Can someone please tell us what the bed wood thickness is supposed to be?
Thank you.

I have quite a bit of Apitong deckboards from military tri axle flatbeds that i bought theu an online auction.
They are shiplapped and 7” wide by 39’ long .... some are 10’ long.
But they are 1.5” thick.
Thought I would use a planer at buddies woodworking ahop and plane em down to 3/4” ...??
If anyone is onterested in these boards... contact me....they have been used for about 5 months on traer.... so they DO have holes in em. 😔🤷â€â™‚ï¸.

These will cut a plug to fill those holes using polyurethane glue. | | |
