I have a 12 foot dual axle trailer with angle sides. Been thinking
of building a ramp and enclosing the sides. WOuld solid 1/8 inch or
3/4 inch expanded be better? The floor is wood.
Check out the weight of your 1/8" steel side panels. 1/2" plywood
would be my choice.

Would painted osb work? How would I attach wood to the angle iron
sides?
OSB works well as a sheathing layer underneath tyvek and siding, but for
your application it will barely be a step above particle board. As you want
a higher degree of strength and resistance to falling apart, you should go
with plywood.
