Add Strength and Security to Your Trailer with Weld-On Stake Pockets from Best Metal Products

When it comes to hauling cargo, safety and reliability are everything. Whether you're a weekend DIYer or a full-time hauler, having dependable tie-down points on your trailer is essential. That’s where our Weld-On Stake Pockets come in—a simple yet powerful way to reinforce your trailer and secure your load with confidence.

At Best Metal Products in Imboden, Arkansas, we manufacture heavy-duty weld-on stake pockets designed for performance, longevity, and ease of use.

What Are Weld-On Stake Pockets?

Stake pockets are metal brackets welded to the side of a trailer to hold stakes or lumber—typically standard 2x4s—which can be used to build side walls, add tie-down points, or secure cargo. Our stake pockets are crafted from 6 gauge (0.196") mild steel, offering exceptional strength and resistance to bending under pressure.

Each pocket measures 3 inches tall and features interior dimensions of 3-5/8" x 1-11/16", making them perfectly sized to accept standard 2x4 lumber.

Key Features:

  • Material: 6 ga mild steel (0.196" thick) for superior durability

  • Design: Weld-on for a permanent, secure fit

  • Dimensions: 3" tall, with inside dimensions of 3-5/8" x 1-11/16"

  • Compatibility: Fits standard 2x4 lumber

  • Use Case: Ideal for trailers, flatbeds, utility beds, and other equipment

Why Choose Weld-On Stake Pockets?

Installing weld-on stake pockets is a great way to customize your trailer for your specific hauling needs. Whether you’re transporting machinery, lumber, or recreational gear, these pockets provide reliable tie-down points that won't loosen or fail under load.

Because they’re welded directly to the trailer frame, you get a permanent, rugged solution that outlasts bolt-on alternatives. With the ability to easily insert and remove 2x4s, you’ll have the flexibility to create custom rails or barriers as needed.
