I've bought a used 8 x 5 steel trailer with a light (bar only) cage to carry my windsurfing gear in. I've also bought used prepainted thin sheet metal to cover it with. I'm planning to modify the frame to extend the front out to the spare wheel crossbar and make a shallow A frame to support the roof. I'll pop rivet the sheet metal to the frame and use silastic to stop rattles. I don't have a way of bending the sheet metal so am planning to buy corner strips instead.

Do you have any tips on the build - doors, rack construction etc that would help?
Should I include some vents and/or insulation to stop the boards and gear cooking?
I'm also keen to see photos of similar trailers please.

I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel.....

Many thanks,

Greg.
