Hey folks. Im in process of fixing this trailer up. there are a few spots I need to weld, and I was thinking about just doing a solid reinforcement all around. But after getting the deck off, it looks pretty decent but also pretty difficult to reinforce with what iv got. Im processing a bunch of old home depot beams into semi usable square tube but the overall shape of the stock is an L.

Iv got 2, 18' perforated beams, probably a dozen smaller cuts of 1in square tube, 4, 8ish inch square "gussets" 1/2 in thick. 12ish of the 8ft L square tube.

I figured if I was welding a few things anyways, I might as well make a pretty bad ass trailer. But now the deck is off, im not totally sure where to start putting things. My brain is saying that hacking 2ft sections of beam, and sistering inside the c channel to the main frame isnt going to do crap, because the joints will still be the weak spots etc.....…
