flatbed trailer: converted burley d'lite

i bought this burley d'lite from a thrift store for $3.99. it didn't have any wheels and someone had stripped the canvas and bolted a plywood deck to it.

i found a sheet of aluminum in the scrap metal pile at work that i was able to cut to the right size. i riveted it to the frame. at some point i may add some aluminum angle iron cross members under the deck, i have a feeling if i put too much weight in the middle it might flex a little more than i'm comfortable with. i'll also need to add some tie downs.

it's pretty light for what it is.

i need to find a set of 20" wheels. these were stolen off my other doggie trailer.
