I Built a 6×10 this past summer and used 2in. square tubing for the whole thing, 3500lb axle, and that thing can haul pretty much anything I put on it.

The wood worked out perfect! I’m in the process of building the gate to haul my lawn tractor. I just have some temporary ramps for it at the moment. Thanks for commenting.

I thought that it would fun to build a trailer but i have put in a little over 100 hours building it. so far i have put about $2200 in it, thats not incuding the floor and paint. i modifided some things that were in the plans i bought to make the trailer look better.

Did you use an oil based paint to paint this trailer black? And you must have used a brush? What do they look for when you get it inspected at DMV for VIN?

Indeed, it’s an oil based paint painted with a brush for a thick coverage. Actually you just get the trailer weighed, and take the slip to the DMV. No VIN required. It’ll be listed as homemade.

Ahh the vin number is a matter of state my state will assign a vin number that you are required to either weld on or engrave on the frame of your trailer. Plus laws change frequintly on size and some states dmv or secretary of state require a safety inspection. that means they will check and make sure your welds are the right size

I’m sure it’ll come to that with time. Some states start it first and eventually the rest follow.
