Y'all might consider keeping an eye on Craigslist - a BOB trailer goes up there every so often.
The idea of building a trailer is pretty ifun, though - I've seen people with rigged trailers; there's a guy out here with a bike-pulled wagon that he built out of two (or maybe three) wrecked bicycles. Next time I see it I'll try to get a picture for you guys.Aperte mala cm est mulier, tum demum est bona. -- Syrus, Maxims

I like that one. It's simple and attractive. I just keep wondering about the plywood. Though that would be the most easily replacable component.

HipGnosis6 - I do keep an eye on Craigs List for a decently priced Burley Nomad. Even though I work in a shop, I still can't afford an employee purchase price right now. My son and I thought it would be cool to do one out of scrap.

Something occurred to me last night to use for the bottom of a trailer and could probably be scavenged. You know those big hard plastics things that offices put under rolling chairs to protect the carpet? They get tossed all the time. They should be cuttable with a jigsaw or circular saw. They wouldn't be affected by water at all. I have one in my garage, but it probably wouldn't be cost-effective to ship.

SouthernBelle - that is an excellent idea. I actually used to have one under my chair in the shop. We remodeled the floor and I no longer needed it. I'll have to see where it ended up.
