it is 2 feet deep. i split a standard sheet of plywood for the side walls. building it for scrap iron, i know it was a bit much for the walls, but i'd rather they be high than too low.

i deal with mostly light iron as far as ferrous, which can get bulky before really adding up to a half ton. if it were cast iron or HMS, i would most likely keep the load small and maybe even just load up the truck. the idea was to keep me from having to make a trip to the scrap yard with only 200lbs of light iron because i was running out of room to pile it up. i can just use the trailer as another one of my "bins" and hook it up when it gets "full" (weight, not volume)


this is what it looks like before the decking
