tandem trailer fender wells

**stokernick** · 09-12-2006, 06:20 PM

The carpeted plywood fender wells have gone to rot and I'd like to replace them.I'm thinking maybe plastic,composite,etc.or just primed and epoxied plywood.Who's done what and how do you like it??

I rebuilt my fenders this past spring, I bought a composite 4x8 sheet 3/8 thick from 84 lumber for about 50bucks, I padded it with carpet pad and covered it with vinyl, It comes in white but Krylon fusion paint works great on it, It will never rot.

Years back a buddy started his own electrical business and I helped him out for a couple years.......playing with high voltage.......used to call me sparky,LOL. Starboard is a polymer lumber, very dence, available in various colors,resitant to chemicals,comes in sheets all thicknesses, very popular in boating industry these days, basically substituting alot of parts that were beeing built out of wood. available at most marine stores, or any place that carries plastics/plexi ect. This would be ideal for what you are needing to do. Peace! Fig/Sparky........LOL
