i don't have a welder, yet , and can't afford one, yet...

but i did have some 3/4 plywood laying around and some black paint...

this thing will be temporary, as in probably a year at least. i wanna go metal after i buy that welder...

Another thing you could do instead of welding one is buy a toolbox thats made for the bed of a pickup truck. I recently rebuilt a trailer and I used one of the toolboxes made for a pickup truck bed and it worked great. I used one of the ones that are supposed to be kind of hidden in the bed so it doesnt have the "wings" its just flat. The one I used is similar to the one in the following link.

Ya something like that would definatly be good for a 5x10 trailer. My brother has one very similar to that one on the trailer he uses for landscaping and it works out good. It has plenty of room for stuff and you can put stuff under it. The trailer that I put one on was a 16 foot trailer so I had plenty of room for the other kind.
