I decided that I wanted a walkway on my trailer, well checked with manufacturer WOW very expensive for what you get. Spent considerable time online looking for galvanised grating or steps or walkways not much luck and also expensive.
So I went with this fits easy wont rust good width great price. works a treat thanks Tommy.

Looks good copie, I did something similar but cut some wedges out of nylon trailer skids to fit between the plank and the trailer frame to keep the plank level.

Don't know how steep your ramps are but throw some tread grip tape on it as those ally planks when new have a shine and can be slippery as when wet .

These planks have a rubber down each side and two non slip edges running all the down on both sides.

Yeah thanks actually got the idea from my brother he fitted one to his trailer a couple of months ago and it works great.
As I mentioned earlier so hard to find anything else in that price area.

OK the plank cost $131.00, 3 galvanised flat plates to go under the trailer frame $9.00, 6 gal bolts nuts and washers I think was $12.00 and the blue trailer skid material was left over from another job but its the stuff from BCF you buy it in meter lengths.
the plank is non skid is made from marine grade alloy all are 225mm wide and come in various lengths. I know from your pic below that's what I was looking for as well but had to get hold of, often needs brackets to install and was far more expensive.

That would be a Telwater trailer Wayno? Looks the same as mine. That walkway is not non slip. I've nearly been A/O a few times now off mine ....while wearing non slip shoes and bare foot. Gets the old ticker movin' I tell ya!
