Conduit tubing is pretty light. And there are devices to bend it. What about hardware cloth for the bottom? It's a wire mesh (about 1/4 inch square), less stretchy than chicken wire. Depends on how much weight you want to put in the bottom of the trailer, but you could add some cross-braces if necessary.
A trick I've seen on Burley trailers to increase their stability is to dish the wheels towards the outside, widening the wheelbase without widening the trailer.
Oil is good, grease is better.
