Buffalo board is brilliant strong stuff.I have a piece of the buffalo board I use a a kneeling board in the garden, been outside for a few years now. No sign of rotting or delaminating.
Absolutely, Phil.Buffalo board is brilliant strong stuff.
But Dave, if you are wanting to hold 3 batteries hung in a box underneath the floor, if I were you I would use some metal hangers and brace bars hanging from something very solid so as to ensure the load is fully allowed for, but of course as you are always so very thorough you will have already thought about doing this.

If the floor of that tipper trailer is buffalo board, the bottom will be very exposed so must be very durable maybe it is a good option for my requirementThe only thing I know of like that is Phenolic resin ply. Buffalo Board .

Hmmmm. Off the table again then.Buffalo board is amazing stuff, but it will rot, takes a while though.
I reckon my trailers needed new floors about every, say 5 to 7 years. That was in a landscape and garden maintenance business, where trailers constantly had grass cuttings etc on them. So thats constantly soaked for 5 + years, the vans weren't much drier
Now come on Dave, aren't you being ever so slightly OTT when you say "off the table then". If this amazing stuff lasts 5 to 7 years when subjected to not only damp, but the invasive acids of rotting vegetation, then your battery box which will be dry for the vast majority of the time and even when it has become wet, it's in an area which is protected from the elements with fresh air circulating so it will dry out in next to no time.Hmmmm. Off the table again then.
There are a few versions of "Buffalo Board" the name being a trade name. The genuine stuff is coated both sides and bonded with the same stuff. What they do recommend and I've never seen done is seal the cut edges.protected the uncoated side of the board
