1lessdog Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 What is the sheeting called and where can I get it. I seen it on some fish houses. Its black looks to be 4 x 8 sheets and close to 1/8 thick. I have a trailer/frame being built and would like to put it down first before the pink insulation and 3/4 plywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl_sd Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I believe that you are looking for HPDE. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/panel-products/plastic-utility-panels/1-8-x-4-x-8-hdpe-panel/blkhdpe48x96x118/p-1561703293092.htm So, just so I have this correct... you are going to insulate between the cross members and run HPDE under the frame and 3/4 plywood on top??

1lessdog Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 No my plan is to lay the HDPE on the top of the frame. Put 1 inch pink insulation on it then 5/8 or 3/4 sanded plywood on top. Is it better to put the HDPE on the bottom of frame and insulation between the cross members. If I did that I would need to use 2 inch insulation.

rl_sd Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 What I have seen others do is run 3/4" marine plywood directly on the frame, top that with foam and then use 1/4" subfloor on top of that. You are going to want to make sure that you get the most rigid base on top of the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
