Trailer Tailgate

I bought a 5'x8' utility trailer in the summer but it only came with a folding ramp, no tailgate. Problem solved, I built one.
The frame is 1/8 x 1 1/4 HSS and the sheeting is 14 gauge.

Clamped up on the new to me welding table. The weld is with the Lincoln wire that I got from Home Depot.

Test fit and primed prior to sheeting.
