In Reply to: Need a good utility trailer plan posted by Rod in Smiths Falls on October 30, 2008 at 17:47:51:

Hi Rod, I do not have any plans to send, although I usually build a couple of trailers a year to sell. The best type of iron for the frame is 3" angle x 1/4 thickness. The cross members which are spaced at 24" have a piece of 2 x 4 setting on them and that is what the floor is secured to with screws, the 2 x 4 is bolted to the angle iron with three 3/6 bolts, which is dilled before the welding begins. the floor is 5/4 (3 1/2") verandah flooring untreated and I paint it with pentox before securing to the trailer, later or the next season I tell who ever purchases the trailer to paint with used motor oil, I actually painted my trailer this afternoon with the motor oil. It is best not to use the square tubing as the inside receives no paint and rusts from the inside out. Living in the Ontario/Quebec area you probably have a Princess Auto store at your convenience, they have most of the hardware required for the project. Place your axle(s) back about 10 or 12 " from center of trailer to get maximum weight on the towing vehicle. I always have two trailers for my personal use, one single axle and one tandem axle, I believe their is not a week goes by that I don't use a trailer for some project. Will send a picture if that would help. Cheers, Murray
