I plan on a railing/guardrail of some kind.The traditional metal bridge construction method was to use a truss design. From what I read, much of the strength in a utility trailer has to do with the sidewalls acting like truss members and even there, a single solid rod added as a reinforcing member to the top of the sidewall construction can add to the carrying strength. Also, having some sort of sidewall members on a bridge would seem to add to the safety factor.
