Harvards Chrome utility trailer stake brackets 8‑piece set (4 left + 4 right) zinc‑plated steel, 5‑1/8" x 2‑1/2"

These are eight heavy‑duty zinc‑plated straight stake brackets designed to fasten wood sideboards to utility trailer frames — four left and four right pieces, ready to bolt directly to timber.

When you need dependable hardware to build or repair the wooden stake sides of a utility trailer, this Harvards Chrome 8‑piece bracket set provides a simple, rugged solution. Each bracket is formed from thick steel and finished with a zinc plating to resist corrosion, sized to accept common fasteners and built for straightforward installation on decking or stake walls.

How do these brackets attach to trailer wood sides?

Installation is a direct bolt‑on process: position the bracket on the board edge, align the predrilled 5/16" holes, and fasten using appropriate screws or bolts (fasteners not included). The flat straight profile keeps boards aligned and supports edge loads without complicated bends or adapters.

• Each bracket measures 5-1/8" long and 2-1/2" wide for standard board thicknesses.
• 5/16" diameter holes accept common carriage bolts, hex bolts, or heavy screws.
• Set contains 4 left and 4 right brackets to pair on both sides of a stake panel.

Will these resist rust and outdoor exposure?

The brackets are zinc plated over strong steel, providing a corrosion‑resistant barrier suitable for road use and seasonal weather. Zinc plating slows oxidation and helps parts retain strength and appearance, though regular inspections and maintenance prolong service life in harsher climates.

• Zinc finish reduces surface rust compared with bare steel.
• Heavy‑duty steel core handles impact and vibration from trailering.
• Periodic cleaning and touch‑up can extend longevity in coastal or salted roads.

What sizes and configurations are included in the set?

The kit includes eight straight brackets—four made for left‑side mounting and four for right‑side mounting—so you can connect up to eight boards in a single installation. The uniform dimensions make them interchangeable across typical stake wall builds.

• 8‑piece pack: 4 left + 4 right straight brackets.
• Bracket size: 5‑1/8" length × 2‑1/2" width.
• Hole size: 5/16" diameter to match common fasteners.

Can I use these with my existing trailer frame and what fasteners work best?

Yes — the straight design fits most trailer stake pockets and side boards; choose fasteners sized to the bracket holes and the thickness of your wood and frame. For a secure hold, use grade‑rated bolts with lock washers or marine‑grade screws when exposure is a concern.

• Recommended: 5/16" bolts with matching nuts and lock washers.
• For wood: exterior‑grade decking screws or carriage bolts through the board.
• Pre‑drill pilot holes in hardwoods to prevent splitting.

Who is this for: this bracket set is intended for trailer owners, DIY fabricators, and repair shops needing an economical, heavy‑duty solution to mount or replace wooden stake sides. It suits builders working on utility trailers, landscape haulers, farm wagons, and anyone who wants straightforward, durable connections between timber sideboards and metal frames.
