Ø  Metal fragments are expected to be seen in each side of the drilled holes so it is best to smoothen out its edges. This is also refers to de-burring.

Ø  Proceed with the installation of the vents and windows; make sure to securely connect them with screws or nails.

Ø  De-burring helps but it’s still advisable to carefully seal the borders and tips using exterior sealants or tube guns.

Ø  Add insulation materials inside the utility trailer. You may use glue or go ahead and staple it to the frame boards, cover it up with plywood or anything of your choice.

Ø  According to your preferences, provide coverings for your trailer floor.

Ø  Set up electrical wirings in your trailer for lights; add outlets for your fridge or any appliances. If possible, use a junction box or perhaps, install a set of electrical wires for future use.

Ø  If there is enough space in your utility trailer, you may also want to build your own cabinets, tables or anything you like.
