I am going to change all 4 bunks, 16' long, 2"x4" to 2"x6".
I want to change all the wood, seal it with something weatherproof, and install plastic pads on top. Plastic is supposed to be slicker and easier to load/unload. I am not installing carpet because the carpet will keep water trapped against the wood longer. The carpet would have no purpose with the plastic pads.
Lowes advertises 2 x 6 x 16 for $15. Ebay has several plastic pads and various prices.
Is my reasoning sound? Any places I should search for the plastic pads?
