Re: Is there a durable wood floor?

Ipe seems to be the winner so far, or a high density composite decking board.

I hadn't a clue that the boards were painted body color from the factory. I just assumed they were cleared or oiled and sent down the line. Thank you Lockdoc

Thank you all that gave opinions and advice.

If I was going to haul something that heavy I would seriously consider putting something over the top of the wood floor to do that, no matter what you use for the floor.
