Picked up a couple of these today at RK. Strategically placed :ROFLMAO: and should give me good tie down points. $3.99 ea.

I ended up doubling strut on both sides to close the gap. Each screen section has an underlying frame and the frames are simply bolted together with two bolts that can easily be removed for disassembly.

Finally finished and tried it out. Trailer loaded with dirt and rocks and drove a few of our fine Michigan roads, this bounced some of the dirt out.

Here’s a before and after power washing. My problem is I have way too much dirt (clay) mixed in with very few rocks.

Makes quite a mess of trailer and truck - I should have tarped the truck.

Overall it’s ok and would work great with minimal dirt in the rocks. I’ll try screening topsoil sometime to see how that goes.

Cool! Thanks for sharing the results. Looks like you have a big a$$ pressure washer. My dinky electric one probably wouldn't make as much mess, lol. (or get the job done well perhaps).

Well I told the wife we needed a new pressure washer to try this out :sneaky:

Please learn to resize your images before uploading...a 640 x 480 image is fine for most pics...
...many TBN members live in rural location and do not have super fast Internet connections...many are limited to just 3mb DSL connections...
