Looking at my 200 Dauntless with 8 ft 2 inch beam on its trailer I need side mount pole type guides which will extend out about 14-15 inches on each side from the trailer beams depending on how tilted laterally the vertical poles are.
The ones I find from Fulton don't say the metal parts are galvanized. A review states that they are not.
The galvanized ones from Tie Down Engineering only extend out 11 inches and appear quite perpendicular in the illustration.
Can anyone refer me to a supplier for these vertical pole type guides with pvc uprights which have galvanized mental components?
Thanks, JimL

Take a look at the EZ Loader Trailer factory parts section on the EZ Loader website.
Fair prices, quick shipping and excellent customer service.

I have the CE Smith posts and am very pleased with them. They are galvanized and quite strong, and the brackets are well made. They are available in 3 different heights, and lighted or unlighted.

Aluminum posts are very common. Mine work well.

I have these massive units on my Outrage 25 which work incredibly well.

I think these would be what you want

T-965-G is 65” tall and the inside of the tube extends out to 19” on 3" wide frames and 20" on 2" wide frames from each side of trailer frame.
I ordered straight from Ve-Ve and have been pleased.
The only downside is that the bolts were not galvanized - they had some type of yellowish treatment. All metal parts of the upright were hot-dipped galvanized, it was just the bolts/nuts/washers that were not, and those are easily and inexpensively replaced.
