    Here’s a noob question: Is there a “tear down” bulkhead? I see only solid one piece removable bulkheads, which makes structural sense, but was wondering if there was something you could carry that you could break apart the frame, with some kind of storable insert or something, that would help keep slippery wet lumber from sliding out? Or is there a convenient way to store a trailer bulkhead when you didn’t want to run with it on all the time?

    I guess, I was just wondering about those guys I see running 48’ trailers with bulkheads. They don’t have the option of longer loads and getting that 2’ of overhang if they need it.

    Technically, this counts as a bulk head. Problem is it's only a foot high, so it won't cover anything that's stacked

    Right, but I was thinking about that guy in another post, or maybe it was youtube, and he grabbed the brakes real quick (rolling slow) as he was about to miss the plant entrance, and all his interior lumber slid out into his headache rack. And then he went on about complaining about lumber and when it’s wet there’s not enough straps in the world to secure those inner pieces. Made me never want to haul lumber lol.

    I personally don't do lumber so I don't know about that, but it seems like maybe that's a good reason to not slam on your brakes.

    One of the regular posters here rigged up some home made brick screens that I think double as a bulkhead. Would have worked great for that. Who was that? @FerrissWheel maybe?

    Yup, I think he's the one who made the brick screens. I knew it started with an F. Lol
