Used trailer (06 featherlite) that has aluminum planks that have warped where the horses back feet have been standing should I be worried? No holes just warped.
Thanks

Aluminum planks do not warp like wood planks. (from a change in moisture content)
In a trailer, the only way aluminum planks change shape is mechanical force. The supporting structure of the trailer allowed the planks to yield under horse weight or the structure of the trailer has bent the planks. Either way, I would inspect the trailer structure very carefully.

Thank you Hosspuller for your input I had taken it to one trailer repair place who told me that the floor was good nothing to worry about . I am working on finding a place to get a second opinion and will look under trailer again myself and get 2nd professional opinion also.
