I'd really like to have a hay rack on my trailer. Maybe hold 4 bales of hay, 25 gallons of water, room for a plastic tool box. What few I've found, are terribly over priced. My trailer is aluminum, or I could fab something out of steel. Anybody know of an affordable solution? Need a ladder to of course.

If you don't want to buy commercial...what are your welding/fabrication skills?

I could make one out of steel, but I wouldn't want that on an aluminum trailer (resale, and other reasons). I can't afford the one posted.

So you don't have the equipment to weld aluminum?

I actually have a tig, and can't seem to master it. I can stick weld pretty good though.
