Wooden stake sides are the simplest upgrade for bulky loads, and they don't void the WorkWagon warranty. Here's how to plan them.
Plan around the deck
| Size | |
|---|---|
| Deck length | 1,500 mm (59.1 in) |
| Deck width | 800 mm (31.5 in) |
Simple approach
- Build two long panels and two short panels from 1 × 6 boards on 2 × 2 uprights.
- Keep sides low, around 30–45 cm (12–18 in), so the load stays stable.
- Make panels removable so you can carry flat loads too.
- Strap or clamp them on; don't drill into the electrical system or wiring.
Stay within the rating
Sides add volume, not capacity. The 800 kg (1,764 lb) rating still applies, and side weight counts toward it.
