Welcome biz,

Whoooeee that's one nice trailer. Hope you enjoy the forum. Maybe we can ask you questions. Looks like you've got it down.

Relax and enjoy,

Never saw one until a couple of months ago through this site. Thought , that looks easy...
Not quite. I had an old trailer lyong around, so thought give it a go.

[Mike C.]

Well you can't tell it. You did a really nice job. One slick looking trailer.

To the playground biz. Can't think of a better use of a perfectly good trailer. Great job.

Will post more pics , once I sort out the gremlins in my software!!!

The profile I used is the ultra-light from the design library - thanks to whoever did that profile and measurements. After that it was design as I go
My main worry was where I would get aluminium sheet here in Scotland. Fortunately the place was just along the road. 8'x4' sheet of 0.7mm (I think) was about £20 UK a sheet. I bought 4 sheets. Real problem was getting ply for the roof and ceiling . Bought 4mm from local B&Q (DIY superstore here) and it bent beutifully in the inner ceiling. The I stuck a few srews in at important places and it cracked everywhere like glass . So have used hardboard throughout. Did the job, just needed sealed. Anyway I'll post some more pics soon. Thanks for the help - an invaluable reference guide and it's free.

Incidentally, my cost of build so far to get to this stage (interior still required finishing) is about £200. Trailer was £2 at a farm auction. Door and frame was free from an old caravan. Just goes to show, theres no need to spend oodles of cash.

Very nice, Biz! I admire anyone who can design and build a teardrop without spending a fortune on it!
