Build taller trailer walls - save TIME and FUEL

My dump trailer is really useful around the property but I need to make some taller walls for hauling things like wood chips or tree limbs. The low walls just don't let me carry enough, and making fewer trips would really save time and fuel.

Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out, I can almost get about three times as much stuff in it. It’s a pretty simple project with some basic metalworking and welding skills. Definitely something I'd recommend considering if you've got a trailer that just won't carry as much as you'd like.
