Very nice looking trailer.
I am assuming you painted it also ? Can I ask what you used to paint it ?
I will be painting my trailer in the spring and I plan on using Rust-O-leum professional enamel with hardener. I have used the same paint in the spray can form before but it was not as hard as I wanted it to be and got scratched easily.
I just finished painting the ramps for it in the garage using the brush on type paint with a little hardener added. It seems to be much harder but also much glossier than the spray can version.
On all the sides I have built for trailers I have used pressure treated wood. I have been using the 1x treated wood instead of the decking. It is usually plenty strong and it is about 40% lighter. I will through bolt into the 2x4 that sits in the stake pockets. I use carriage bolts that I hammer in so they seat and nylock nuts on the outside. That way it never comes loose and it will last until the wood rots out eventually.
On a side note I did notice that you have the 3 light marker light on the rear. I doubt you will ever have any problems with it, but they are actually reserved to indicate that a trailer is over 80" wide.
You may get in trouble with a wide trailer that is missing the lights, but I don't think anyone will complain about it being on one that does not need it.
