In a long term project, I have an 8x4 foot trailer, with a plywood floor that I can stand on. Underneath the floor are steel joists. I wish to be able to extend the floor by having another piece of plywood that can slide out the back and I wish to stand on that as well! So I'll have a
16x4 foot floor or maybe a bit shorter. I'll need to support the extra floor somehow. Perhaps there could be hinged supports every couple of feet that hinge down to the ground, and the whole lot slides back on the trailer when the trailer is to be moved. This all wants to be as light as possible, and I'd rather use timber everywhere. I already have lots of plywood. I know you all like weird challenges!- posted
