Greetings All,
I am getting ready to build a tandem axle trailer (3500# axles) for a 250 gallon smoker. I want the trailer to be 16' x 6'. I have not done alot of trailer building so I wanted to ask some of you for your opinion on the frame material. So here are a couple options I had in mind.
Option #1: I was thinking of using either 2"x3"x11 ga. or 2"x4"x11ga. rectangle tubing for the frame, tongue and cross members. Do you think the 11ga. will be heavy enough or would I need to go up to 3/16"?
Option #2: Using 4"x4"x1/4" angle for the frame and tongue and rectangle tubing for the cross members.
Also, if anyone could help me out with the length of tongue that I would need it would be greatly appreciated. I plan on running the tongue back under the frame a couple feet.
Thanks In Advance, :clap:
