    $500 isn't much more than flatbed load of shingles was paying to go from Baltimore to New York 20 years ago.

    Poor mans dunnage storage.

    you will need to measure things out, so these will fit.

    Find a place you can get some good angle iron from. Preferably cut for you.

    measure out your dunnage in a stack as you would want to store it. Lets say 12 pcs. That could stack 3 wide, 4 tall. Have the angle iron cut so that you can make a rectangle about 1/2 inch wider and a few inches taller. Make 2 of these. Find a spot on the trailer where you can hang them from the cross member between the he frame and outside rail edge. About 5 or 6 feet apart. Use three or four bolts to hold in place make sure you have some space to slide the lumber out one side.
