new builder with trailer question

I just put money down on a non-folding 5X8 trailer from red trailer. I noticed in the specs that the trailer is actually 98 inches long. Won't this be a problem trying to put an 8ft side wall on it?

Since you'll need to go bigger than 96" now why not go to 120", you'll be much happier with the results. :thumbsup: Danny

Or, you could just cut it down two inches during assembly.

Things like that bothered me when I started my trailer, but now if it needs to be cut or altered to suit me, I just cut it. No problem.
