Good cheap Superglide Alternative?..

[woodsman27]

I'm looking for a good cheap superglide alternative for sled deck/trailer (not for ramps, just for deck/floor). Anyone know where I can get something like this? Royal won't ship the stuff.

Superglides are worth there money. They even come with decent fasteners and the others come with cheap Chinese screws with Phillips heads. The plastic is cheap and may break under cold temperatures.

I don't see anything on that link that even resembles a superglide....... But as Ron has already said, you get what you pay for

Not really an alternative for it, but if you are just using it to protect the flooring, some old truck bed liner cut into strips did the job in my old trailer no issue. Just gotta be careful not to make the strips too wide, as they are plenty slippery when wet.

Try gator guides from AB plastics. Local company and supporting vendor on this site. Link -

While it wasn't because of price, more the fact I ran into some excess for free, but used solid, non grooved composite decking boards and routered out the grooves. Leaves a huge mess with the shavings, but it worked good and stood up quite well on one of our trailers.

Superglides are worth the extra cash. You don't have to replace them because they don't break like cheaper alternatives.

Could always get the trailer floor spray lined.... Have seen quite a few trailers done with that and it lasts

I should have described what I'm looking for better. I want some type of matting material I can cut and use to cover the floor inside the trailer. I've seen some of the CJay trailers and the stuff they use is wicked. Doesn't tear up and no need for super glides on the floor. Maybe I'll call them up and see what they use and get some prices.

Fosters Covered Wagon in Devon sells gator glides, at least last year and that is where I got mine.

I'd be interested in that too.... find a link for us

Link to CJay's website is below, but does not have much info. They told me what they use is plywood with a thin type of matting that they get from somewhere in the US - about $160 per sheet and they said they have a hell of time getting it in. I think I'm going to rock guard it and be done with it. Guess we'll see how it holds up on plywood.

I have Armorthane in my enclosed and its great, has held up when I was using it all the time. No issues. The wood was dried and the floor was treated before it was applied.

Go down to your local hockey arena and inquire about puck board. That stuff is bomber.

Except the fact that when it's cold with a bit of snow on it you'll probably break your neck when you slip and fall.

Until you need to walk on it. Crazy slippery.

It's actually not that slippery, we surfaced a skateboard ramp with it years ago, it worked great. The arena was re-doing all there boards and we got it for free. You could always buff it with a wire wheel to ruff it up a little.

Dry it isn't bad but I've stepped on it wet and snow covered and it can be a rodeo.

Ski slippers. Done!
That's what I would do next time.

Can one put "good" and "cheap" together like that?

Grammatically, it is okay but in reality?????
