I've been browsing FB marketplace and Craigslist for trailers and to find anything decent under $1k in my area is tough (residential building has been insane the past 2 years) admittedly I'd want something that can handle a higher payload but this is still a good deal for most uses.
The mesh is also available and I can't really tell the difference from the pictures but here is the link :

Hilarity aside, these rust like crazy, especially if you live anywhere near a coastline or in Florida. You will be shocked to find there might already be surface rust when you first buy it.
The only way to get around it is to buy a very expensive aluminum trailer. You'll want to hide a GPS tracker on it, get it fully registered, put some silly stickers on it to help police easily identify it, etc.. they're that sought after.
If you can cover this completely with good drainage below, you can avoid rapid rust coverage. If you keep ontop of the rust, you can prolong it by years. Another thing people do with these super cheap trailers is change out the wheels but that cost some $$$.
Just know the realities of these. They're using ultra cheap metal.
My recommendation is if you are going to spend the money, the one they sell at tractor supply with the bigger wheels is a better purchase.
And, they asked if I wanted to open a HF credit card which they allowed me to stack for an additional 10% off, so I got the trailer delivered for around $400 after taxes.

1000x this. The bearings on this small axle will blow out constantly
Some men would pay anything for that.
I just bought a heavy duty 5x10 single axle with good boards, just a little rusty for $1000 and cost me $35 to swap the title and get a new plate. Takes about a $45 gallon of paint and a day to grind/sand down and paint and you have a like new trailer.
