The first mod for our Carry-On trailer. I build a plywood deck for our 5x8 Carry-On trailer and add some integrated tie down and ratchet strap points.

    Hold tie down anchor plate on the bottom when marking holes so you can make sure they don’t interfere with the grid and you won’t need to cut it. Also drill anchor bolt holes from the bottom for the same reason.

    Thanks for the help, I didn't even think of this.

    Thanks for watching! I’m glad someone got something out of it. Figured this would be a video for me to laugh at in a few years.

    Just a thought. Considering your tie downs are only attached to the expanded metal which isn’t very strong, maybe the 3/4” plywood is the better choice. Say you have something pretty heavy in that trailer like say a motorcycle and the small spot welds that hold the expanded metal give way over time and you go around a corner and that force pops up that expanded metal from the frame there a possibility 1/2” plywood (especially if it older and been on there awhile could beak and fold over and you dump your load over on its side. Unless you slap some bolts here and there through the plywood and attach it directly to the frame which is much stronger that could very well happen. That expanded metal is very flimsy on those trailers. They aren’t using the good stuff anymore. I can literally bend it with my hands. I’d say the heavier plywood would be much stronger and less likely to break and fold over if what I suggested ever happened. Fairly unlikely but definitely something to think about especially without high sides to keep anything from flying off the trailer should that happen. Personally I’d go with the 1/2” like you said and bolt it to the frame just for safety sake. Just a thought.
