I'm building a utility trailer (because I'm stupid and lowered my Nissan Hardbody and now it won't carry anything), and I can't decide if I should do some sort of removable stake side sort of thing, or just build fixed sides.

I've never owned a trailer.

For those who have - what do you recommend for sides?

Flatbed with good tie-down points.

You don't need sides if you tie well. They get in the way a lot.

My car trailer has stake holes. I've never put stakes in them. But they are good tie-down points.

Add a stowage box on the tongue or elsewhere to store a bunch of straps, chains, etc. Dedicate them to the trailer. You won't regret it.

I'll post pics later, but I built a Harbor Freight trailer earlier this year. I bought this one (http://www.harborfreight.com/-lb-capacity-super-duty-48-inch-x-96-inch-utility-trailer-with-12-inch-five-lug-wheels-and-tires-.html) on New Year's Day with a 25% off coupon for $300. I added a floor, and removable slab sides.

I primarily use the trailer in-town for hauling topsoil, mulch, rock, gravel, leaves, wood, and brush. With that in mind, I figured having sides would help keep material in the trailer, and I wanted the sides to have some strength. I hauled well over over 10 tons of rock out of my yard and my neighbor's yard this year, and I didn't want rocks falling through (or taking out) stake sides, and I didn't trust them to stay in place (lots of hills and bumpy pavement). Without having a scale to verify, I'd guess that many of these rocks were over 200 lbs.

I didn't want to make the walls permanent as their may be an occasion where I want to take them off (the tractor example is a good one), so I bolted everything together. I haven't done it yet, but I'm guessing I could have everything apart in 15 minutes or so.

So far, I'm happy with the compromise.

Different people, different perspectives.

When I am asked about a utility trailer, I picture something full width of the vehicle, and 12'- 16' long.

It is apparent by the posts here, that some people picture something 4' wide and 5'- 8' long.

Since the OP didn't specify, I guess we shouldn't work off our assumptions.

If I was building a small trailer, I'd have removable sides (because it is more likely to haul lawn mowers, gravel, or brush). Plus, the sides are manageable, so they might get used.

If I was building a larger trailer, I'd have a flatbed (because it is more likely to haul sheet goods, scrap steel, cars or car parts). I'd include stake pockets, but I'm pretty sure I'd never use them.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I think stake sides are wining out. I can use them or not, but if they're fixed I can't remove them at all. I bent up some stake pockets last night, and will weld them on soon. I like the threaded bolt thingie to secure them - good idea!

The trailer is made from a rotting tent trailer that came with our house. It's a 4x8' frame, with lb capacity. The intent is mainly for dump trips (take my time filling it, then haul it when it's full) and bringing home stuff for the house or shop. My wee truck is pretty gutless, so a big honking trailer is not a reality.

Thanks again!

I grew up with a 4x8 utility trailer... we had one in our house sense I was 7 or so... our first one was fixed sides... it had rebar around the top with a little space so it gave plenty of space to use tie down straps and such...

few years later it was sold and they ('rents) bought one with staked sides... it's been rebuilt a time or 2 with new wood... i've used it tons of times and loved having it around...

that being said... if I where to build a 4x8 I would prob go with the welded on tops... just make sure its designed to fit a 4x8 sheet in it laying down flat even after the sides are in (the way the staked sides where when we got it we couldn't fit a 4x8 flat :-/)

and a 4x8 is about the perfect size to have (at least for non car guys)... no need for a pick up around the house but you can still haul whatever you need (I moved multiple times with my '85 tercel thanks to that trailer)

Sorry for the delay in posting the pics.

I got this free from a coworker who's parents insisted that he get it out of their backyard. It's a cheap (if there is such a thing) Canadian tire 4x8 basic tilt frame utility trailer that he had made 2x4 stakes, and plywood sides for. I used it for a year like that, but it looked like E36 M3. The SS expanded metal pieces were 12" high, and free, so they dictated the height. The only things I bought for it was the 1" sq tube, pressure treated 3/4" decking, and 2" coupler. I think I have $50 in it, and these pics don't do it justice. It looks pretty good.

The tube is bolted into the stake holes with 3/8" bolts, and the front section bolts onto the sides with the tie down hooks I use to secure the bikes.

The only thing left to do is bolt on the fenders. Since trailer lights frustrate me more than anything I can currently think of, I'll use magnetic lights that I can transfer to my car trailer, or car when I'm using a tow bar. I also re-drilled the hole, and moved the pin for the pivot to a more friendly place, and kept the old plywood to use as a liner for when I might haul a little gravel, or take a load of loose garbage to the dump. It will be mainly used for hauling bikes. I can get 3 motocross bikes on it comfortably.

so im seriously debating selling my longbed chevy and strapping a trailer hitch to the subaru. buying/building a 4X8 ish trailer.

im seeing that you guys are running 12 inch wheels. ive always heard that those are pretty scary for highway pulling, heavy loads, etc.

what i usually use the truck for are car parts, helping friends move, brush, lumber, small quantities of logs (i love doing turning on my lathe), etc. all things that can be accomplished with a trailer.

so i giess my questions for the trailer guys in this thread are thus: 12 inch tires: safe for hevy loads/highway speeds? would you rather have a longbed chevy with a 4.3 or a trailer pulled by your daily in your driveway?

if my choice was between a truck or a more resonable DD that fits the fam + trailer there is no question i'd run the trailer...

in a perfect world i'd have the truck and a flat bed trailer for car towing... along with a utility trailer and a hitch...

as for tires... I just know dad went with 13 or 14" and we've never had a problem no matter how loaded down we've had the trailer... towed it thousands of miles with our horizon (dodge omni) a few thousand with my '85 tercel (not quickly but it got us to where we needed to go lol)

I'm lucky enough to have both a truck and trailer, and the trailer does have some advantages over the truck. One of the biggest is in terms of load height. For example, I was able to use a ramp and get some heavy boulders in my trailer that I could never have lifted into my truck. I also don't cringe when they drop gravel into the trailer (gravel scratched my previous truck). Cleaning out the trailer also takes far less work than scraping topsoil out of my truck's bedliner.

My trailer has 5 lug wheels and 12" tires, and it's limited to 55 MPH. With a larger budget, I would have at least considered 15" wheels. Not as much for load capacity (my trailer can haul lbs, and that's plenty w/o electric brakes), but rather for the flexibility of taking in on the highway. It works perfectly for in-town, but I'd think twice before taking it on a longer highway trip. However, If you read the reviews on Harbor Freight, people have towed the same trailer cross-country, at 95 MPH, with triple the rated load capacity and have never had an issue, so YMMV.
