Can you use bedliner on wood?

I want to build a ramp for my shed out of wood and thought about coating it with bedliner to protect it from the elements. I also thought about coating the floor of my shed with bedliner too (3/4 OSB). Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Probably trap moisture real good and rot quick.

Wood expands and contracts do to humidity/rain a lot more that steel, the movement will break the bond. If you do not mind the smell transmission fluid on the weather side will work.

Durabak says it works on wood. Some just work on metal.

A buddy dud his wood deck on the Illinois River. Lasted years until the flood took the deck out.

We use a mix of diesel and I believe boiled linseed oil on wood floor of trailers, would that be the same or better than transmission fluid?

I am not impressed with that stuff, wife has a wooden out door rocker that she will not let me use transmission fluid on for some reason and I have to seal in 3-4 times a years, stuff just does not hold up to Oklahoma extremes.
Transmission oil will bead water for 3ish years and mold and such will not grow on it .

I think transmission fluid may be the ticket then. Hopefully I can get this ramp built this weekend!

Is your ramp ending on cement or on the ground?
