Location: 99320		When I pulled the trailer mats out and washed the trailer, I noticed that the weld between the walls and floor is not continuous - that is - there are welds running down the length of the trailer, but it's not continuous. Is this normal, or should I be contacting the trailer company to have more welding done?

Thank you.

Location: 99320		Is there any specification on how far apart the welds should be and how long each welded area should be? Thanks!

Location: western PA		The amount of welds should approximate the strength of the material being used. Fabricators usually use prints and standards established by engineers. In auto body repairs, the welds are usually finished off and ground smooth for panel repairs.
