I've been looking throughout UA-cam to find a video on how I could raise my sides on my trailer do to the tube top rail and finally found what I needed great video thank you
It's a nice build, but depending on what you want to do may not be what you need. Not smooth on inside, not easily removable, a lot of weight. It is solid, and it does look good.
Is it hard to drill thru metal? I hoped to hear more on this. I've drilled lumber a lot, but not metal. Do you burn out your drill or ruin parts easier doing metal? And how to avoid? Thanks.
Yes - there's a video with the same style Karavan trailer from "Ratha Sochenda" with a square bolt style build. Could easily combine this style of build with his style to fit your liking. ua-cam.com/video/XqD6D6I-HAI/v-deo.html
I bought the 5 x 8 same trailer, thank you very much for posting this. You did an amazing job with your trailer.

That is a clean installation.
Awesome this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the ideas.
I gotta do this to my trailer when I get some time. Good job homie 😎👍🤜🤛✅
Nuts on the inside only spells doom to your ankles. Nuts on the outside
Nice job! Thanks for sharing!

How much weight did this add to the trailer?
A pressure treated 2x6x12 weighs roughly 38 lbs. He used 15 2x6x12's so factor in the 2x4 posts and hardware it's roughly 600 lbs +- 50lbs.
So why did you go with this set up versus just using plywood to build the sides?
I did ply wood on mine didn’t last much with all the wear and tear plus rain just crumbles within a few months
Plywood gives the crackhead vibes this here looks mint

Hello my friend. There are metal drilling bits that will work a little better although normal wood drill bits will work if you are in a pinch.
@@forumconstructiongroupcos Thank you.
Could I use sqaure ubolts instead of drilling thru my trailer?

Do you need a dot to drive a trailer ?
No
How many 2 by 4s you had to buy?
I used 2x6s for a little bit more added stability. I cut them in half so total count was 5 2x6x8
How does that make any sense? 2x4 is 3 1/2" and 2x6 cut in half is 2 3/4".... the 2x4 is stronger then a 2x6 ripped in half lol
@@rl3443he cut them in half length wise… giving him 10 2x6x4
@@rl3443he didn't say he ripped them in half, he cut them in half. They were 8' in length and he cut them to 4' in length.
@@bigmike7801 tell him Big Mike, everyone is so touchy on the web these days. Guy made a video to help you out.
Thanks for the video
