Tailgates

I got a new fifth wheel and am thinking about putting a fifth wheel tailgate on it (for only those times that I pull the Fver) and am torn between the plastic.... metal.... or the net...

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

Metal

You can not put anything heavy on a plastic tailgate. Example, if you need to unload or load something heavy you can not set it down on the open tailgate.
