Anyone try the Northern Tool 40x48 aluminum trailer for a build?

I need a small trailer to haul my camping stuff. I'll have to drag it up around to the back of my house by hand for storage, so weight is key. I was about to get a HF red trailer, but found Northern Tool has an aluminum one with LED lights and diamond plate fenders. I don't see any stake pockets for building sides though. Thoughts?

Looks good - put/build a box on it and call it a day!

It's light duty, obviously, but if you just need to haul some camping gear occasionally it should serve you just fine.
You could look to dinoot for a tub/camper box or just add decking and bolt some locking storage boxes to it.

I have thought about getting the 4x8 version and decking it with composite lumber. Should last a good number of years with zero corrosion issues .

How would I go about making sides for it? I don't see stake holes like the HF steel one has.

You can order the stake brackets from Harbor Freight pretty cheap.
