Dude, exactly what I already had in mind, but all planned out for me with the frustrations taken care of. You're a G.

That was AWESOME!!!!!!! Thanks for taking time to show us, I'll definitely use that.

Thank you for this. That is exactly what I was looking to done. This was very helpful!

Thank you so much... I've also been looking into modifying my little trailer for my camping gear and this idea is a perfect solution to what I need for all my gear. Great idea and an easy fix for me to accomplish!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a million!

This is the best I've seen. Thanks.

Thank you.

This is exactly what i need, now come do it to my trailer please lol

Thanks. I just bought the same trailer and was thinking about sides. Great idea!!

Thanks so much, I've been looking for a solution that doesn't require welding and allows something removable in the random event I need to carry something oversized

Great idea using the u bolts. Thanks for sharing

Love this! Great job sir!

Just finished my modification. Only took around 4 hours and I love the design. Your video was super helpful. I didn't go as high and put side up on the front and tied them into the side planks. I'd love to share pictures, but don't know how to add them to my comments. Any ideas?

very clever. Thanks for this.

Terrific! ~ Thanks for sharing.

Looks great!

Great job! I am going to use your plan.

Great video. Thank you

Thanks. Great idea!

Bro. you just save me a time and money thanks.

Great video

That is great thanks for the tip

Looks great! I am looking at something a little lighter duty for my 4’x2’ utility cart. That removable tie in front is amazing! I could see you connecting the rear of the sides to the ramp, if it needed to hold… what, I don’t know… but it’s looks very stout!

It has worked out great. I don't know what I'd be hauling that would need the gate connected to the walls that wouldn't blow out the whole trailer. If I filled it with that much mulch it would probably just bend the axles. Be sure to check out the follow-up video too. Thanks

Can you tell me what the clamping bolts that fix the front piece of timber to the sides are called

Is there some trick to NOT burning through your drill bits or damaging your drill when you make the holes in metal? I haven't done very much with metal, but even when I work on normal lumber its surprising that you can have trouble with drill bits :S. I'd hope to not burn through any if it can be avoided.

Quality drill bits and keeping them cool helps.

It is a metal-grate floor. I bought the trailer at Lowe's.

I’m definitely going to do mine in a very similar manner. Thank you for your video. It’s been two years since uploading this. Is it still holding up good?

I made a second video showing how it's loaded and talking about how it is holding up. Spoiler, it's holding up very well. The bolts needed to be tightened, but otherwise it's doing great.

Awesome please add links for the hardware if you can

Was it mentioned abouts how much this project’s budget was? Thanks. I’m thinking of doing this with our utility trailer…

I did this more than a year ago, before wood prices exploded. I don't remember exactly what I spent. I think it was around $100 usd.

@@DFSqu great timing and thanks for the reply! One deck board is $20 now

Do you think a person could live in this trailer? The reason I ask is because I’d like to build this for my boyfriend to sleep in in my driveway. He snores and it would be nice to have him sleep in a different structure.

I had to tighten all the nuts this spring because the wood shrank a little. I also added some more loops. Nothing major. I'll make a follow up video soon.
