    I would expect that these trailers will be made from the proper grades of plastic that are UV stable and stuff that bends and flexs rather than cracking - plastics are not just plastics. I would expect these to be a more durable than steel and a definately a lot more durable than aluminium.

    One would certainly hope so, they're a lot more expensive,
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Bit hard to tell - I don't think they have been around as long as typical steel trailers - my 6x4 trailer (steel) is only twenty years old, but my steel framed alloy decked tandem trailer is at least 33 years old - both still in good shape, the 6x4 near new , although it could use another coat of paint.

    Interestingly, yesterday I saw a full timber trailer including the drawbar! Must have been Noah warming up for a bigger job!

    Tha factory is local here in Bundy and they started making trailers more than 4 years ago. They also making boats and I did not heared any bad comments yet.

    Go back to the fifties, these were not uncommon (even semitrailers), but the price of timber these days makes just about anything else cheaper.

    I used to dream (many years ago) of making one out of timber until I realised how rapidly stone damage erodes timber and how dimensional changes with humidity would cause problems.
