Hi All,
I want to design and build a trailer but am wondering what the frame should be made of. It will be moving around the roads on occasion - think once a year or so. I could build the framework out of wood, seal it with marine varnish, ventilation to prevent mould/damp/rot etc but I am not so sure about its strength. The alternative is to build it out of steel, with which I have little experience. Any thoughts ?
Are there any guides out there for design/load/centre of gravity etc ?
