Utility Trailer Query
Monroe wrote in
: 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 -- Monroe 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. Patriarch |
