| How does this aluminum floor look to you? There are some holes drilled in the middle of the floor I guess for drainage. I have only seen them at the top and bottom corners, never in the middle. This belonged to a friend of mine and she is getting out of horses but when she did use it she always pulled the mats on a regular basis. She said the holes were there when she bought it. I don't see any pitting or holes otherwise. The frame underneath looks solid.   |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Looks OK to me, but goodness why drill holes in the aluminum floor of a trailer, I would pass out if my hubby did that to my trailer, when my trailer is unhooked from my truck I just make sure the nose is higher then normal so the water or pee will drain out threw the back area. Now the manger was a mess, we did have to make a drain for the water that stayed in the mangers after a rain, I dont know why this was not done when the trailer was builted. Just a stupid design on the manger part  |

Just a stupid design on the manger part My LQ only has holes in the corners and it is aluminum. These holes are only drilled in the first stall, it is a two horse. It looks factory done and nothing underneath explains why they are there. I am extra cautious with aluminum floors. I have seen the results when a horse puts a leg through one. We made a drain hole in the mangers in our LQ too.

Location: Jersey Girl | Looks like normal wear and tear to me. I'm not sure what the big deal is about having a drainage hole here or there. I wish mine had them becasue my mare pees all the time. Huge PITA always having to clean under the mats because the urine just lays under them. I can't wait until I have enough saved to do the werm flooring. |

Location: Willows, CA | I have seen aluminum floors that were eaten up with electrolysis that had holes the size of a 50 cent piece all over. The floors in the OP post look OK to me, as much as I can see from the pictures. You would be amazed how bad some aluminum floors can get if the sub-frame is steel. |

Drilling holes in a Aluminum floor is easy, you could do it yourself or go to a local Mechanic and have them do it for you.  |
