How do i make my own pontoon guides for my traile wirh dime

You will have trouble finding enough dimes cuz we're in the middle of a national coin shortage due to the pandemic.

I think you meant dimensions. It's a little hard make a recommendation without knowing the dimensions of your boat and the trailer.

Welcome aboard.

It depends on whether you want sturdy metal guides that can resist the force of being hit by the logs, or tall guides that merely stick up out of the water when the trailer is submerged to make lining the boat up easier. For the first you likely need to fabricate and weld metal guides to the trailer frame. For the second you can make them from PVC pipe and bolt them to the trailer.

Any decent suggestion is going to need to know what stye trailer you have.

Where can i get info on how to build pontoon boat guide ons with all dimensions

As mentioned above, it depends on your particular trailer. Post here a few more times so you can be approved for posting photos. Then post photos of your trailer and what you want the "guides" to do. . .... I doubt there are generic instructions for what you want to do, but if you haven't fabricated and welded metal before , instructions would not likely be of much help for that task. ... We need more info to be of more help.

Do you have access to a welder? Is it a bunk trailer? If so all you need to do is get 4 pieces of steel flat strap 2" wide 1/⁸" thick and long enough to wrap around 3 sides of the crossmember. Then weld a vertical piece of 2x2 square tube to the top of the straps. Put 1 at the front x member and 1 at the rear. Attach the 2 with a 2x8 board and counter sink the bolt heads. Then drill and bolt the straps to the x members.
