What gauge/size steel for a trailer??


B-man715

Question

Hey Guys,

I'm toying around with the idea of building a mini drop down fish house trailer.

It would be a 6'x8', solid tounge, with drop down pivot arms for the tires (no winches).

For a shelter on the trailer I will use a Clam 6800, folded down for transport, and up once on the ice.

I want to build it as light as possible for early ice atv fishing.

The most weight it would hold would be a 100lb shack and up to a couple hundred pounds of gear.

Lots of plans out there for heavy duty utility trailers, but for what I'm trying to accomplish I'm not sure what sizes to use.

Would 3"x2"x14 gauge tube for the tounge, and 3"x1"x14 gauge tube for the frame be way over kill??? Could I use something smaller/lighter??

What size for cross members??

Has to be steel.........
