What type Indoor/Outdoor carpet to put in brand new enclosed trailer?

I just bought a brand stinkin new 27 foot Interstate Enclosed this morning.

It doesnt even have any footprints in it yet (read: Virgin!).

My last sled trailer I painted the floor with grey poly paint that had walnut shells in it for texture.

It held up really well over the course of a couple winters use with and without carbide covers.

Now Im debating which way I wanna go with this new one...paint & walnut shells with cut up bed liner tracks?

Or try this indoor/outdoor carpet gig using glue on the fresh, new plywood?

I just went to home depot tonight and spotted three different types of indoor outdoor carpet.

None of which appear to have any kind of closed rubber backing on them.

1). There was grey low pile carpet, much like youd see in a mud room or inside a screened in porch or something.

2). There was a tan colored carpet, same as above texture, just different color.

3). The final was the type we probably have all seen around an outdoor pool...the green astro-turf fake grass looking carpet.

Again, none appeared to have a close cell backing to prevent water getting through to the plywood.

Which have people been using with success, or am I looking at the wrong stuff?

Thanks...Im in a rush, theres lots of fresh falling in the hills as I write this!!


P.S., Ive used the search function, but have yet to find the answer Im searching for....
 
I guess Ill reply to myself. I gave up on the carpet idea....I just pulled the trigger on several hundred dollars of plastic low profile ski guides/glides.

First, for wetness protection, poly paint with walnut shells, traction bars on ramps, then ski glides/guides...aint gonna be cheap but the heck with it.

I want to be able to ride in and ride out without dicking around with ski covers, ski wheels/casters, etc...been there, done all that! :face-icon-small-fro :jaw:
