This was the best idea we could think of because i want me decoys in 6 slot bags and i want the shelves removable and strong incase we gotta sleep in it. me and waterfowladdict dont have a life so we also got the lights on it and soon the cd player. let me know what you guys think.

Two 2x4 stringers on each side

that's a good idea. We also like to keep are dekes in the bag, what we did was use muffler clamps and hung them up from the ribs in the roof.

How many decoys do you think you can get in that trailer. I am jumping between a 6x10 and a 6x12.

Great stuff :D You might add a couple more lights to the back or around the side I was much happier when I did. Just my thoughts :D

yea i was thinkin that i should put a light on the sides too. i think i'll be able to squeeze 10 6 slot bags on each shelf, the blinds on top and i have tho whole front half for floaters,guns,ammo, and waders.

I seen somewhere where they mounted the lights on pivot arms so that they could be swung around from the back to the corners and even the sides...no need to move the truck/trailor, just move the lights...

Hey Justin,

That is about how I planned on doing my trailor for my new spread so thank you for posting the pictures! If you don't mind how much did all the materials cost you?

I may put eye bolts for bungees or something so my bags don't jump around.

Once again thank you for sharring!!!!

I think that is a lot cheaper than shelves would be. What kind of screws did you use and did you screw from the outside in or inside out?

I am guessing you just pulled out the screws that were already in the trailer support beams?

2 1/2in wood screws with piolet holes into the metal studs that run vertically, make sure you dont use to long of screws and puncture the outside shell of the trailer! lol that would make for a bad day. i also used some liquid nails to to be safe.
