So I’ve
been working up some plans for a trailer this weekend, and it’s important to
note that there are already a few great designs out there. This post will
direct you to my two favorites.
I had
dismissed the idea of building my own trailer a few years back, just because of
the hitch. I’d found it really hard to find something that I was happy with
including in my design, and that wouldn’t break the bank. It turns out that a
few people have come up with good DIY suggestions; my favorite is here.
Whilst
continuing with my research for the trailer I came across a really nice
Scottish company – Carry Freedom. Not only do they produce a hitch which is affordable,
easy to fit, and according to their website very durable (link is here), they
also provide free plans for a bamboo trailer (link is here).
These plans
operate on a donation only system, so if you do want to take a peek then give
what you can. Also maybe consider buying your hitch from them – I will be in
the near future as it looks great.
Alternatively
if you can’t give anything other than an internet connection then take a look a
this wonderful PVC pipe trailer on Instructables.
I am
finalising a design which is going to take elements from both the bamboo
trailer and the Instructables one. Once I’ve got a design that I am happy with
I will put it up here for everyone to take a look at.
I’ll keep
you posted on progress.
