    Finally got me a proper tray made to contain my log chain rats nest. Hope it works as well for real as it does in my head.

    I assume there are drain holes?

    Also how much clearance is there for you to get a hand into the bottom of the inside sections?

    I’m poor, and have slightly different requirements. I used 5 dollar paint buckets. Used one gallon paint cans probably would have worked even better. IMG_5759.jpeg

    your idea is pretty slick though.

    The stupid money I spent on this trailer I wanted something better than buckets. Had something similar to this made of 1x8s and plywood, worked good for about 5 months before it gave up.

    Water can get out the ends, there's as much clearance as you're going to get in these boxes with a 16 inch door height.

    a buddy of mine used different lengths of 6 inch abs plastic pipe with stove bolts holding them together inside. He still hung them up inside the headache rack but they were not tangled and the binders were not tangled.

    I’ve tried various things over the years. Last truck had 4” drainage pipe and that worked really well. IMG_3481.jpeg IMG_4196.jpeg

    You bought all new chains too? Looks that way...

    Edit
    I was thinking to how much weight does a side box hold? I've had to reinforce mine where all 4 bolts go as they've rotted through where the bolt goes in...
     
    singlescrewshaker, cke and CAXPT Thank this.
