Utility Trailer Query

Wanting to construct wooden sides for a 6 x 12 flat deck trailer.
Trailer has stake pockets to accomodate 2 x 4. Using this for
construction debris, mulch, trips to dump. Of those that have
constructed similar siding, what spec of lumber have you use and found
works or (perhaps) did not? Was considering 2x4 verticals with 2 x 6
or 2 x 10 horizontals, but perhaps the 2x horizontals are overkill?
I've had some suggest lighter weight 1 x 6. Ditto suggestions for
pressure treated wood. thanks

How long do you want to keep these sides? If I was using two-by for the
stakes, I'd use inexpensive ply for the sides, and replace the whole affair
seasonally.

But that's just me. YMMV.
