Expert Reply:

You can mount the fenders directly to the trailer frame through the fender skirt on the back of the fender. I would recommend using large washers if you drill through the fender skirt and attach the fender directly to the trailer frame.

If mounting directly to the trailer frame is not possible on your trailer, you will need to use brackets to attach the fenders. We have the Galvanized Steel, L-Shaped, Bolt-On Brackets, item # PF775-BKT-2, that could be used to mount these fenders, # F008543, to your trailer frame.

With these brackets you would need to determine what other hardware would work with your specific trailer, the brackets and the fender.
