The rear tailight panels are made of 3x5 1/4 angle iron with 2x3 3/16 over the top. Gates are made of 2x2 12 gauge tubeing sheeted with 14 ga. 3 rib panels.We have buit about 10 of these in the last 2 month's 1 left to build then it's on to spring and summer work.I get sick of working in the shop this time of year anyhow.

Very impressive Denny, they look very well made. Do you take orders during the summer and build all winter or are they on spec?

I build one or two a month in the summer if I get the orders I don't advertise that time of year as it does'nt do much good.I can find alot of GOOD help in the winter so thats when we try to build most of them.That and it's always busy near tax season.It's the perfect job busy in the winter dead in the summer.I keep wanting to quit but the guys who help have been working for me for 13 years now when their not at a real job.They are alot of fun and most of the time the customers are great.We won't build any "HORSE" Trailer's and have fazed out of the flatbed no profit in those.
 
They look great ,Denny. With the tall sides, do you have some ventilation below the neck. Also, what kind of prices? PM me if you'd like.

I have a Featherlite that was custom built 7 ft high for draft horses, and I have wondered if it has enough ventilation? There is a 6ft tack area up front, so I cant put vents up front. Thought about having another row plasma cut out, but has worked fine so far.

Denny, your trailers are real nice. Do you only build them as you have orders? That seems like it would be a fun job building trailers. At least someone that uses a trailer builds them, unlike some of these trailer companies.
