Well it all depends on how heavy your going to load the wagon. We stacked the bales and would put 200 bales on a 18 foot wagon. I floored mine with cross members and boards long ways. I always used white oak and made the outside board an inch thicker than the middle boards.
My brother made his wagons with 3 2x12 nailed together with 2x10s cross the rails. With much more than 150 bales his wagon floors would bow out with the load. He finally put an angle iron rail down each side with braces going to the main rails that stopped them form bowing.
