Got the floor mounted to the trailer today along with 6 of the wall brackets. Then discovered 2 of my wall boards to make the box were way to long. So had to cut them and sand then re-stain/seal the ends i cut. Now i gotta wait for that to dry again.



Holes drilled for the floor bolts and flipped to mount some of the wall brackets.



Flipped right side up.



10 bolts to hold the floor just like a truck bed.

Better too long than too short, Shawn

Then there was the guy that "cut the board 3 times and it was still too short"

Got the trailer done. Kinda. Have one little design issue to sort out then ill be fully done. Right now a bungie cord is fixing it. ill figure something out next time i go to town...



but for now heres how it looks... this was after i got the front and side walls on...







inside the box before i got the inside brackets on.. note the gap in the front of the box... wasnt real happy about that but when you got warped boards to work with you do what you can...



nice thing is the brackets pulled it down some...





rear gate attached...





and attached to my little gocart toy... pulled it well

Wonder how the plywood will hold up to the weather? Probably better than the more expensive so-called pressure treated stuff.
