Hi all,
I was in the process of hooking up my trailer to go get a bunch of free 1800's heart pine (I'll gloat on that later, after I've seen the material ;-)) and I thought "wouldn't it be nice to have an enclosed box that fits the trailer bed and lifts on/off via a hoist in the garage?" (like a Haul Mark etc). It would be the best of both worlds - leave the trailer bare for big ugly stuff (e.g. the wife's mulch :-)) and put the box on for more security (e.g. taking the tools to job sites).
Anyone have ideas for this or have done it before? I'm envisioning building a frame of either 1/2" angle iron or even wood, and then attaching lauan to it for a shell. Then maybe fiberglassing the whole mess for structural integrity/water tightness.
The one drawback is that I think I might be getting near the "you could've bought a damn Haul Mark for that!" point ;p-)
Cheers,
-Henry
