Removed the shell and using pallet boards the dimensions were perfect. I trimmed them to 40" or 44" length and utilized 3 others for cross supports beneath


12, 3/8" Diameter bolts, washers and lock washers.


Undercarriage visual


The hitch assembly that came with the trailer child carrier


Deck removed to stain as one piece


Stained(liberally), clear coat(heavy), reassembled



Love the versatility the open deck allows


Already working for me


Heavy load full of camp stoves and fuel


Sleek, slim, lightweight

Thanks for looking.

Any feedback, opinions and thoughts always welcome...I would love to hear what anyone might include, add, eliminate, do entirely different...let's hear it lol!
Nice! I used cedar fence boards to form the base of my Burley mod. The 2x4s might get heavy, though you did seal them. I think stipping the trailer down to make a flatbed is an awesome expansion to a bicycle's capabilities! I love my trailer, and it takes a beating. Great job!
