Thanks to Mak and Marco for the
useful comments on my ATV
trailer research post.
The current plan is to leave
the walls off when we put it together so I can build a frame that
will hold 5 gallon buckets. My thinking is the way it is might hold 6
buckets, but if we had a frame that allowed each bucket to extend out
then the total goes up to 9.
Mark, Be cautious about leaving off the walls. I have a trailer just like the one in your photo. Even leaving off the tailgate when loaded causes it to flex. I believe the walls add significant structural strength. Any framework you build to accommodate the buckets should provide similar rigidity. Good luck with your modifications.
