Make your own trailer

Kitsune06 - I am definitely paying attention to this. Here's the one layout that we currently like best: http://www.carryfreedom.com/Y-Frame.html

Keep the ideas coming. Thanks for all of the help.

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.
