I fixed several rust through holes on a utility trailer for a friend and customer. The problem is that the the calcium chloride from the dirt road that he lives on holds moisture, which causes a lot of corrosion. Although I like the rigidity of tubing, I prefer open sections for trailers to allow all sides to be painted. My friend is trying to get a few more years of life from the trailer.
