Great video!! I’m getting ready to start a junk removal business and I’m definitely overthinking building the sides on my trailer. Thanks for the encouragement
@@Jakobs_JourneyThat's the problem with those trailers. They are nice, but they should have made higher sides on them. At least 4 feet high, my father and myself out of metal and plywood took a Harbor freight trailer, and made some very durable sides over 36 years ago and they're still holding up, I wish I could show them to you, however I don't have a video. I'm just making a comment. But I have never seen sides, the way we made them, anywhere, on any video.
Absolutely appreciate the go for it attitude I've been a carpenter for 30+ years I am capable and have experience in framing a house but have been thinking about building walls on utility trailer just a little hesitant why idk I know I can do it it's just needed that push and your video helped a lot thank you!
Nice job man. Did a similar job on my utility trailer getting it ready for my junk removal business. Been working it hard for the last 6 months and now saving up to add a dump trailer

Glad I could help! Hopefully yours turns out better then mine haha
How much do you think someone would charge me to build walls on my 6 by 12’ utility trailer?

Dope man!
Always make sure to treat the ends of cut treated wood as that cut end is no longer treated. Especially if there are splits as well.
How much extra weight did this add?
Just curious as to why youre pre drilling holes for your wood screws? Awesome build!
Just to prevent wood from splitting
for the plywood did you use 1/2, 3/4, or 1 inch?
Believe it was 3/4
😂Interested to see what happened on the seconf job. Hopefully nothing too bad.
All ima say till the video comes out is I messed up 🤦♂️ 😂
How does it look now? i feel like you should have treated it with paint or something.
So it won’t fly off ? Because I’m gonna do this now , but I might weld some so it won’t fly off
No the lag bolts go through the frame, plywood and 2x4. Securing everything down to the frame. And L brackets to add just a little more support
@@Jakobs_Journey Thank you
I would have taken angle iron and plywood and somehow welded the angle iron to the existing trailer. Looks good however there are other ways.
I've been waiting to see your next upload since it's been a while. I'm sure you're just busy but I just hope you're doing well Jakob.
Really busy haha. But I got a full update video dropping within the next week or so
Why you didn't weld metal sides like I did
Anyone else catch the miss-matched screw head types?
That should be 1-2 hours worth of work if you have half a clue and decent tools.
I may have over exaggerated. Also I'm no pro haha. But thanks for watching!
