'Not so much in "my" garage, but...
I changed my oil in my Sisters/BILs office/warehouse space...
It's 30+ degrees here in the Okanagan with heavy wildfire smoke.
Working indoors in a nice air conditioned space... Nice :)
*If anyone's looking for a high quality custom built locomotive lemme know and I'll hook you up :)

Meh. 6-12" sidewalls (unclear if 11" is height of entire frame or protrusion above deck) don't help me much. Yours are better.

I need to figure a way to make the back end removable safely while maintaining rigidity. Need to put a lawn mower and bunch of gear in there soon, and it will be painful to lift up that high with just my wife helping out.

@oioioi recommended me some good brackets to use, but I'm also thinking of some hinges to make it either a swing door...or ideally (but not sure how to) make it a ramp.

To tie corners together, loose pin hinges work. Use stake pockets to hold the panel. Install half of the hinge at the top of the end panel, half on side panel. To remove panel, pull hinge pins and then slide rear panel up.

I wouldn't bother with a ramp. Pull the pins so the tongue is loose and you now have a tilt trailer. Stand on the back of the trailer and it stands up so you only have a 4" lip to the ground, load heavy thing. As you move forward on the trailer, go slow at the balance point and it will tip back down onto the tongue. Remember to reinstall pins before driving.
