Thank you for the advice on materials. I suspected that the square tubing would be a rust trap, though I have a 5X8 with a lot of 1" tube and it has held up for ten years, so far. The two by four idea would save a lot of difficult bolting.
What do you think of my building a lightweight tandem utility trailer? The reason I want one is that I used my buddy's 5 1/2 X 10 for a long lumber haul, and it towed really well empty and with about 1200 bd feet of pine in it. The builder made his own drop axles and put them on Chrysler 4 bolt hubs off minivans.
The axles I bought originally carried a 27' cruiser and are pretty solid (6 leaf springs, 13" 5 bolt wheels), but if they will line up all right I think I'd prefer to use both.
I like the idea of the 3X3X1/4 angle thickness for the outside frames. I assume you have the angle on the bottom with the wood sitting on it? How do the cross-pieces fasten on?
