I hvnt found any boxs sold made out of 1/8 plate--I think yours kicks at 6 O'Clock with a size 12 with the proper amount of force--Awesome!

Nice trailer and good idea . Not sure why everyone mounts their winches so low to the bed . I like my chains on racks and ratcheting straps in boxs .

Fantastic job it looks great

How much do you think you saved building this trailer yourself vs buying one exactly like it?

[@kmac9759]

3000-3500

I built a 28-foot sxs trailer out of a camper frame. If I had to do it over again I'd bought a new car trailer for the same cost as I have into my trailer . I never figured in my time I invested in it. Virginia has pretty good prices on new trailers.

Time? And material cost

A year later, do you have any regrets using expanded metal for the bottom? Maybe you live in a warm climate, but I built a tool trailer and used expanded metal for the floor. First time I drove through a puddle everything inside was covered in mud. Then snow season came and it just got worse. I used expanded metal because there's machines inside and it's great for air circ while venting the exhaust. Now I'm looking to cover it and build a dedicated air intake for everything to use. I'm thinking of making a vehicle filter box and doing away with the individual small engine filters.

If I was using the trailer everyday in the winter I would cut a piece of rubber to go in the bottom. But it’s fine for me.

@@kmac9759 Good thinking, I just bought a truck bed mat at tractor supply yesterday. Damn that thing is heavy! best I can do is drag the friggin thing

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Have you had a wasps nest inside that box yet? Looks good, but that would be an issue for me.

[@kmac9759]

Not sure, its been parked at my dads place, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it had a few in it.

[@kmac9759]

Update. No, haven’t seen any wasps anywhere on the trailer.

[@aidens1088]

How thick was the metal that you used?

[@kmac9759]

1/8 inch. The sides were left over from the fenders, the lid and expanded metal bottom were scrap.
