I bought a used 18 FT 8000lb Flatbed trailer and want to build some two foot high wood side panels for it out of 2x4's and 3/4 inch plywood.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of "rule" regarding how far the 2x4 needs to go through the stake pockets?
I'm also looking for interesting hardware to hold the side panels together. I don't really like the ones that Northern Tool has and am wondering if anyone has done or used something they feel is "cool".
Here's what Northern Tool offers:
