My trailer has and easily removal gate.Slides in and out with no tools required. Helps with hauling longer items. I have added a couple of heavy duty bungee cords to keep is tight and reduce the rattle. It also has the ability to lay forward if not needed to reduce drag.

Did not see any mention of backing up bike onto trailers. Rear tires like to bounce/slide if you go too fast or mid slicked. Safer loading with a ramp.
I use a Guard Dog to secure bikes.
Look for the spring assisted ramps. Those are nice.

Dove tail or bifold gate catch a lot less wind.

My 14' Buck Dandy utility trailer has a gate that folds forward if I'm hauling anything longer than 14'.
I have the 12’ version of this, i was about to come here and say the same thing. The fold forward option is real nice for what the OP is talking about

The full ramp is not great for mileage. Even perforated it’s a giant sail.
Go with the 2x idea or build a box on the tongue for smaller items.

If the trailer is built heavy enough to haul a small tractor or skid steer get the slide out ramps bc the weight of either will crush the expanded metal on a drop gate.
