You're right. Everything that has an edge does seem to snag. I've already had the dremel tool out and a few more minutes with it will make the zip ties look and work better. I also need to run by lowes and pic up a whole hand full of nylon acorn nuts for the exposed bolt ends.

I did check the trailer to see if the steps would work out, and I think they will. I think I will go with some 3/8ths smooth and rivet on a thin layer of tread plate. This seems to be the easiest and most available way to get the strength I want. Now to find a piece of that vinyl looking stuff to wrap the edges in.

Another question for someone is about buying a spare tire. I'm looking at online at etrailer.com I can add a few things to it and get it over $150 for free shipping. I think the tire is $130 something with a galvanized rim. It is a 14 inch tire. If anyone has any other sources, I'm all ears.
