Use a nail or screw to space the boards and you will be able to haul sand in it.

Here is what I did. Used PT 2x4 for posts and deck boards. Bolted together. I have an 18' car hauler so it is actually in 5 pieces so I can actually lift them by myself and I didn't have to splice. I used hasps and hitch pins to secure together at corners.

I have one trailer with " green " treated 1/2 plywood sides well over 10 or 12 years old, The sides sit outside when not being used. Labor generally costs much more than materials. However as I get older I start thinking " do I need a 20 or 30 year roof "
As my best friend told me one time. " I hope to die owing AMEX 20 K "

Nice - what did you mount your trailer tire with?

I ordered it with the factory spare mount. It is welded to the jack. You can kind of see it in this picture...
