Do 2x4s Get Attached Into the Stake Pocket # C83072
Question:
The internal dimensions of this product are 1/4inch larger than a 2X4 - which means the 2X4 would be quite loose when inserted. What secures the 2X4 into the stake pocket? Just gravity from the weight of the sides that will be secured to the stake? Or is it recommended to drill a hole into the face of the stake pocket and secure with a fastener of some type? Or something else?

Expert Reply:
Typically there is a wall section built of wood and the stake pockets like part # C83072 allow the 2 x 4s to install. Usually the top section of the wall is attached at the front and back of the flat bed in some way which will hold the boards into the pockets.
These pockets are designed to fit the standard 2x4 size and allow a bit of movement but if the walls built that use the pockets are secured properly the extra space would not be an issue.
