Yes I am building myself a trailer, a 6 x 12 double axle job, it should be nice if I ever get it done. I am to the point where I need to find a way to attach the gate, so I was wondering if you guys could answer some simple questions.
1. How high off the ground is the back of your trailer?
2. How long is your gate?
3. What kind of angle is the gate on?
4. HOw does it attach to the trailer?
I am really looking for some pictures, those would me most helpful to me. I am also interested in seeing how the gates are constructed, I am going to make mine out of tube steel rather than angle because it is much lighter, but I wonder how they attach the mesh, does it usually go overtop or is it tucked down underneath some angle to avoid snagging stuff on it?
THe more pictures the better, so next time you have your digi cam handy and are standing by your trailer snap a few pics for me. Thanks.
Oh, and last but not least, how high do most of you make your side rails? and are fenders required on trailers in the state of MI or anywhere for that matter? HOw can I find that out?
