At 62 I'm not as energetic as to cause a lot of movement these days

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle

your Trailer looks mint, i wish I put more effort and detail into my build, my chassis is slightly skewed and my tub is beat up, your trailer is very close to my initial plans for mine, however my wants and needs changed. but Ive stolen a few ideas from yours already

Leroy.

Perry and others - excellent work!
I'm sure there is a good reason, but why is the front wall of the middle section a couple of inches to the rear of the top of the tub? Just interested, definitely not a criticism.

There is a reason

The roof fits over the tub itself and the front wall is fitted between the extensions on the tub which is where the doors would close. It is my intention to put either a hinged lid or a canvas flap over this (connected to the front of the roof) as it is good storage for tarps, ropes, blocks of wood etc.

Hope this makes sense. I'll take a picture to show what I mean.

Perry

I think this shows what I mean.

My reasoning was that it would have been wasted space if under a complete roof due to having to climb over everything in the back for access. Whereas, as it is, it is within easy reach.

Many thanks. As with the rest of this build - good thinking 99!!!!!!
