I'm building a trailer and need a little help advice from some of you more educated people.
The trailer is 14'x8' and is being built out of 2x4x1/8" rectagular tubing. It's getting a 3500lb axle and is only going to get at max 2,000lbs on it. It's not going to be a heavy hauler.
I built a 20'x6' trailer out of the same stuff and put cross braces every 2 feet on that trailer. It is a tandem axle trailer with 3k lb axles used as a landscapping trailer.
My question is, do I need to put as much bracing in this trailer? I was going to put 3 braces throughout the 14' span since it's going to be for lighter weights.
I'll post some pictures of the project soon, I'm going to pick up the axle and some other stuff today. I should start to weld it up early next week, monday or tuesday.
