Recommended Solution for Tie Down Anchors to Use Wheel Nets on Aluminum Trailer
Question:
Looking for options with my aluminum trailer to use wheel nets for my UTV. Tracks or D Rings? Concerned about dissimilar metals. Want to drill the fewest amount of holes in my new Aluma trailer.

I recommend using e-tracks like the Erickson Horizontal E-Track - Zinc Plated Steel - 2,000 lbs - 5' Long # E19148 because of the flexibility these provide you in regards to getting your UTV positioned. Because these are zinc plated steel, there won't be any corrosive reaction with your aluminum trailer, so there's nothing to worry about in that regard. I do recommend using the E-Track Backing Plates # e96RR. I do believe that this will also require less drilling than drilling 4 holes each for a D-ring, so these should allow you the easiest installation.
If you need some wheel nets that are compatible with these E-Tracks you can use the Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-Track Fittings - 1,166 lbs # 77314, which can be used on tires up to 29" in diameter.
