    Nice job! I like it. It didn't cost you anymore than many of the poorly made carts available today. Its perfect! Thanks for posting

    Great little build 👍 What I liked was the kids were involved. Love the fact that they don’t have shoes on. And Cam even found a dirt snack at 7:44 😂. Have the kids sign part of the trailer Even if it’s just maybe a marker and a drawing on the bottom or something. You’ll get a smile every time you see it.

    GREAT BUILD. @Shane I thought the same thing, I'd use wood burn tool to put names (with help of course). Seeing kids and there Dad spend time together and smiling just makes my day............. THANK YOU. Looking forward to the next one. Peace

    Very cool. I would have painted the frame with another coat and the wood with some sort of weather treatment. Only weak point I see is the holes the back door fit into,which may start to rot after a few years, but I’m sure those boards can easily be switched out. I liked the chainsaw holder idea. Thank you for sharing.

    I have the same trailer from Hobo Freight and I used 3/4 plywood for decking and sides. Only issue we have is the fenders hitting trees and bending. I think mine was $199 several years ago.

    This is a very cheap kit, until you get on it! It can be expensive and tedious depending how picky you are! My build got close to $900.00 but built it extremely detailed!

    exactly! Also it is probably built better than anything you could have boughten as well and you know its done right and how you want it.

    Really like it. Was thinking of the doing the same thing but its just a bit to wide with the tires to fit down alot of my ATV trails to get firewood. How is it pulling through the woods? I have roots and ditches to cross as well.

    How much does the completed trailer weigh unloaded? Nice trailer build.

    Nice job! How high did you go on your outer stake measurements? The Harbor Freight manual had 18 inches but I found that too short to haul garbage cans upright. Again great work!

    Thanks a lot! and sorry for the late reply. I definetly went over 18" i was probably closer to 22 to 24 inches.
