ATV trailer modification
Thanks to Mak and Marco for the
useful comments on my ATV
trailer research post.
The current plan is to leave
the walls off when we put it together so I can build a frame that
will hold 5 gallon buckets. My thinking is the way it is might hold 6
buckets, but if we had a frame that allowed each bucket to extend out
then the total goes up to 9.

Mark, Be cautious about leaving off the walls. I have a trailer just like the one in your photo. Even leaving off the tailgate when loaded causes it to flex. I believe the walls add significant structural strength. Any framework you build to accommodate the buckets should provide similar rigidity. Good luck with your modifications.
