Marcel Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 Has Im waiting for the paint to dry...looking at the vevor chock...these bolts came with it and with a spacer to compensate for the side lip on the stand itself...looked like these busging spacers would just sink in the obs floor...so I decided to put down a obs piece to support the entire stand...and drilled to extra hole ...pushing the stand back 3 inches from the front....

Pedro Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Is it the same board on the inside providing structure and outside taking the force of the elements? That’s a lot of trust going onto an OSB board! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...cheaply made has possible...if I'm not mistaken the osb is 3/4 inch thick...and the osb is exposed to the elements...they could have lease put a coating of some kind...even paint..im sure they are better quality made trailers out their...but this definitely a cheap one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with you you...a good foot wide plate welded between the rails would have been the ultimate perfect job...but I got lazy..lol....just didn't care to pull out the welder crawling underneath with a foot of clearance underneath...
