In Response To: What?! Then how does the trailer attach to the planks? (Gary, 2023, Milwaukee)

My brackets were the same as yours, Gary. Charles, having read the description of your bunk brackets several times, I wonder if yours may actually be the same as well - just worded differently. Note: I replaced all of the angle brackets and also added eight more. I then did a lot of disc sanding and triple coated the pieces (and the whole trailer) with brush-on aluminum based, rustproof polyurethane that is made for boat trailers. The trailer should last forever. I also made sure that the new double bunks were made out of pressure treated wood. Incredibly, most trailer companies automatically use untreated wood to save costs - which is minimal considering the benefits of pressure treated wood. http://www.icesculptureworld.com/santana2023c/page3.html
