For plywood walls you would need wood screws to secure the E-track # E19148 to the walls. That is if you attach the track to only the wooden walls. If you secure any of the E-track to the metal support frames then you would need machine screws for the metal type used on the trailer.

The mounting holes in the E-tracks are 1/4 inch in diameter so using 3/16 inch hardware of the appropriate length would be the way to go.
