Trailer Specs

[notaPINKtruck]

I'm definitely not impressed with the trailer instructions. I just spent and entire day building one and will continue tomorrow morning.

For one you're right, dimensioning is off in a lot of places. For instance: they assume a 2X4 is actually 2" x 4", which has to be the rookiest mistake in carpentry.

Also, there's no way that just luan + plywood sides is going to withstand a whole season's worth of practice. It could serve as a nice ornament but it can't take any kind of beating. They have all the weight resting on flimsy pieces of luan siding (including the wheel wells and very heavy center pipe). I'm going to add 2X4 standoffs in the center of ours to at least give it a chance of surviving until April.

Another thing is that all of the dimensions are very odd such as 57 1/4" or 42 7/8", which tells me someone designed it in CAD and never actually tried building it. No carpenter would sweat 42 7/8" vs 43" on a project like this (mayhaps a cabinet maker).
