    If it's PT, you can stay natural or Black will offset the white nicely.

    Thanks Shawn Curry . I was in kind of a hurry. Not enough time in the day. But, if I don't get it done it will be there tomorrow, or the next day. I think I will have some time Saturday. I hope. :thumbs:

    Looking good. I left mine natural. I need to get some rails made up to cover the window. What kind of corner connectors did you use for yours?

    I went to Lowes and TSC hoping to find the trailer stake rack corners. Neither had them. So I am just using some connectors I had laying around temporarily. They work fine but are not as strong and I want to be able to take them apart and off when I want. Here is a shot of what I used. And as always, I found some better ones after.:picard:

    Okay. Got to make the window protector Saturday morning and primed the whole kit and kabootle right through lunch time Saturday before we went to the movies.

    I'm disappointed a bit, but oh well. I was a bit of a hurry to get it done so I didn't take my time a do a better job. But that is what paint is for!:D

    Thanks Stinny. I appreciate it. I know it will haul a lot more wood now and it will be better than messing with standing up some OSB to get a full load. LOL! I decided to just put the better corner brackets on that I found for now. I have a feeling I will be leaving the stake sides on more often than not. But not sure. So now I am thinking of if I should have a back to put on at the tail gate that I would put on when hauling wood or a lot of trash, etc.. Possibly get the trailer hardware corners for easily taking everything apart. Leave the back off when not hauling anything.

    Maybe something like this for hardware. http://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Sides-Latch-Corner-Brackets/dp/B00JEJW69Q

    What the hell. I went to Lowes and Tractor Supply and neither had them. Where did you find them at your Tractor Supply store?
