learning curve - walls

Well, I built my trailer, absolutely love it. I took it off road, and it tipped over, no damage thankfully, so when I got it home decided to make it spring under instead of over, probably lowered it by a good 6 inches which will help make it more stable. It had rough plywood walls inside so based on stuff read on this forum I decided to carpet the walls. Picked up some light grey indoor/outdoor carpet and a paslode staple gun and got to work. Lesson learned, the next trailer will have the walls pre-fabbed and finished with them laying on their sides. There are some wrinkles in the carpet surface but I can live with that for now. On one positive note I met a guy who owns a line x shop and since we both go off road with our jeeps he offered to coat the trailer with the line x product for a very good price. Still thinking on that, maybe before next summer.
