Buffalo Board is a great product for lining trailer beds, horse boxes and floors for platforms, sheds or staging. It is also used regularly for narrowboat decks and boat building.
A tough, phenolic coating protects and seals birch plywood with a slip resistant wire mesh pattern to the face. Genuine Buffalo Board is easily identifiable by the distinctive Buffalo logo on the underside of the board.
