A pickup with a cap works just as well.

Tarp would work also, but be sure to raise the plywood a bit with some scrap
lumber to prevent the bottom frm getting wet.

And when you want to haul plywood home when its raining you get a
Suburban or Yukon XL - it will easily handle 4x8' sheets of plywood in
the back with the door closed.

I've got that harbor freight trailer. If you catch it on sale, you can get
it for 199.

The "stake" sides are strictly a DIY deal. The trailer comes with 8 little
metal doo-dads that you bolt to the frame, and you can insert a 2x4 into it.
The design of the sides is entirely up to you. I've got some made of
plywood and of twoby.
It's rated for 990 pounds (must be a number intended to get around
regulations somewhere) and is probably the best two bills I've ever spent.
We use it for hauling building materials, my buddy borrows it once in a
while for his motorcycle, etc.

That trailer looks fine for 4x8 plywood but what about bulky stuff -
compostables, big rocks and stuff. It says at Harbor Freight that it
doesn't come with stakes but will accommodate stakes. What do the stakes
do? To haul a lot of stuff you would need fences and a gate.

They sell a kit for stake sides:

Also a version with 12: tires instead of 8":

And a non-folding version with 12" tires and leaf spring suspension:

I wonder where these are made?
