NO! ...don't do it! Get an enclosed one and there are many reasons why but my single axle 16 ft.is awesome. I have both, my other is a dual axle open utility with outside rails but it is just that, it carries wood and stuff when you don't care about road debris and weather. Storage and safety is worth the investment and you can lock it up for piece of mind. If this is you first trailer, invest. I can't say it enough...trust me. Check my profile pic...sorry I would show you other examples but the pic function is not working correctly....
