I used to have an old football net, through it on and chucked some ladders ontop.

I had a trailer almost identical to that when I started, it was a car transporter so a big ramped back door.

High sides made a world of diference

This is more of a question really. I can see the benefits of the high sides/ greedy boards but dont understand the reason for mesh. I think it just invites the wind and turbulence to eject the contents when on the move. Would sheet ali not be a better job with a decent net on top?

I am sure that I read some literature that stated home made trailers ie caravan chassis and the like will not be allowed on the public highway ? I cannot remember the date when this new law comes into effect ? Sure I didnt dream it :001_cool:

ratchet strap it down? nah, load it in , smash it into a bazillion pieces then chuck more on top and repeat. loading a trailer is a black art.

haha

the black art is the ability to be able to un-load it quicker than you loaded it

Mashing down a non tip trailer is something you do once!!

Never once had anything blow out mine, never any turbulence problems .

My old 4 track wouldn't get much over 45mph anyway :)

Mesh is a pain as everything gets court up in it when your trying to empty it, fixt this up on my tipper mostly for extra chip capacity on big jobs or delivering chip back out to customers but have found it excellent for hedgecutting as can just dump everything in and it stays put.

I'll 2nd the scaffolding net as it's cheep and your not bothered if it rips and is handy to put on the ground if your trimming over a gravel drive to catch everything and save on tidy up.
