I´m planning to put it,but first I need to know how fix the fence to the angle bed(of course into the hole),but it is only by pressing down?
It is pine wood like the floor? It was a options?
Thanks,

Just cut the corner stakes to size and fit them down into the stake pockets. Then you can just bolt the the number of side pieces that you want to use. It'll be pretty strong that way.

The front with the two sides tied in together makes for a strong fitment. These boards on my truck are more decorative than strong, a good 1" board would be advisable for heavier hauling. I have seen the heights go as tall as the cab,I suppose for transporting goats, pigs, or some other small farm animal.

I also dado out a groove that lets the horizontal boards fit into it which adds a lot of stability. First three photos here are of one done that way. http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/coilover/
