White Oak is considered an exotic wood around here. I could darn near buy a new trailer for the price of enough 2x6 white oak to re-deck mine. There is an exotic wood outlet in Spokane. Mainly provides speciality woods for custom wood workers. They could special order the oak for me for $$$$. I'll be using PT pine to re-deck my trailer.

Around us white oak is also extremely expensive. Darn nice wood for deck and bet it will last a LONG time!! Looks great!

About the longevity of white oak...in older times and even today it (white oak) was/is often used to build burial crypts and vaults...it's not uncommon to find many of them almost fully intact when moving graveyards for roads etc...

The only thing about using it on trailers is...it's heavy...up to twice as heavy as standard dimensional treated lumber...
