The floor is a sheet of 1/2" treated plywood, the sides are 3/8" plywood not treated. The trailer is 4'x8' so the floor is one sheet cut into two 4'x4' so that the trailer can fold. The sides are 2' high, and are framed on top with 2x2s and have 2x4 stakes that fit in stake pockets that are part of the trailer. Too fold the sides must be removed. I have a two car and golf cart garage and one side is my work shop. I have room to leave the trailer unfolded and the sides are on.
The trailer is available in three 4'x8' models. This is the mid sized unit. It will hold a little over 1000# and it has 12" wheels. The smaller one uses 8" wheels. I think 8" wheels are too small for high speed (70 MPH) use so I opted for 12". The heavy duty trailer does not fold. Check out the Harbor Freight site for all the details.
