Salop trailer

[Fast Farmer]

So thought I'd start a new post as I don't like hijacking other people's threads

Recently started restoring a salop trailer no. 2

Bought off a farmer a few years ago when I went did some work for him jetting a drain, and noticed it covered in the brambles, and the big giveaway was the tipping screw and wheel Jack

So all stripped down painted and just making the main frame now out of English oak

Just plaining oak boards for the floor and got to make all new brackets for the corners so will keep you posted

And yes that's another salop trailer in the background we bought and plan on converting into a shepherds hut when we get the time

There is.....or was, one of those knocking around here somewhere in the bramble patch. I wonder where it is now....??

Nice work

Not here haha Yet!!

It's a lot cheaper to buy a new Fleming or similar trailer but just love keeping our local history alive
