    For a few hundred in material id give it a go. If it doesn't work out; worst case scenario you break even. 1 or 2 loads will pay for itself. If all else fails scrap the trailer frame if it doesn't work.

    I built sides on a 16ft car hauler. Only cost around $250 for plywood, studs , paint and angle brackets. First load of steel paid above and beyond my cost.
