Yes it would just add railing!
Today I sold the red trailer from post #83 for a little more than I paid and I sold my watertender 9.4 row boat. Just as I was waiting for the boat buyer my dad called and told me my golf cart was stolen from his house. So insurance company calls, Police reports and finding my receipt for it kept me from making progress tonight. Man I hope USAA comes through on this.

Thursday I was asked to build this
Friday night I set up on my friends table at a Gun Show
Saturday was shot because I sat at the Gun Show
Today after the Gun Show a frind came over and helped me rip 20 2X4's into 2X2's then we framed the walls
Loads of work left for the Friday self imposed deadline.

Sales for me were terrible! I had to give my AR15 away all custom parts, bag, 10 mags and tools 525.00. The guy 2 tables down was selling brand new with flat top uppers for 550.00 he admitted he was buying huge lots of complete kits and lowers 500 1000 at a time from shotgun news and throwing them together. I bet he moved 16 or 20 of them in 2 days. They are low end kits but everyone that is scared that semi autos will be banned and had no clue what they were getting were buying them up, family of 4 bought 3 in one transaction. Even the guys selling quality name brand guns couldn't keep up with this guy. Oh well we live and learn. I have the cash for siding now I can always build another AR later.
For now it's back to the build. The forecast is calling for rain tonight so after the trip to the Golf Cart dealership for the replacement cart and settle the Insurance claim I will probably go pick out 2X6's for the rafters and give 3/8” plywood a last look as a consideration for a walk on roof. With any luck I will have the rafters cut tonight so I can assemble them tomorrow.

The whole semi-auto thing the media blows up is retarded. Probably a factor in why I bought another gun Friday even though I neither needed it, nor could 'afford' it with the trailer build going strong right now. It must have been sub-conscious :elkgrin:
I used to be 'that guy' too that everyone went to for repairs. I am pretty happy that my new job keeps me way to busy to be that guy anymore. I got way to tired of being 'taken advantage of guy' or 'not even deserving of a thank you' guy. I like your trailer though :sombrero:

I put a down payment on this one.
Now I just need the insurance to pick up the tab.
I went and bought 8' 2x6's to cut the rafters
11 2x6's 2 2x4's
The extra up front gets cut off but I figured I could use it as a platform to build the sides and roof then cut it off.

Wow! I guess you need insurance for everything?
My grandfather had a golf cart that he would take to the local courses in Pa.
Then they changed the rules about their own carts and he was not allowed to use it on public courses.
The roof trusses look nice.

I cut the rafters down they were to tall
I had a bunch of small wood left
So I made the purlins out of 1x2's then stacked them
