    I love the trailer. Im working to make one as you. Can you tell me what Brackets and Strut Brackets you used?

    You did a great job on that trailer.
    Mine is similar. One thing I do is before launching I pull the kayak back 3-4 feet and then back it in the water. This essentially makes the trailer 3-4 longer.

    Sir. First off wow, awesome idea. Not sure what you do for a living but man this is awesome. You have inspired me to get off my arse and get my outdoor adventure trailer built. I am good with the insistent, won’t need as much as you have, but I am interested in the “t risers or brackets”. Any idea or a link where you got those, would be greatly appreciated. I am also mounting a “rising/lowering” ARB Awning + Room, as well as a Yakima Rod Locker. Can’t wait, have had most of the parts bought n paid for, just sitting waiting on me. Now that I stumbled across your idea of using Uniate it for the kayak mounts, all I would need are the t brackets, and any info on sizing cone nuts, spring nuts, and so 45 degree brackets. Thanks again for an awesome video and outstanding ideas.

    Turned out really nice Chris, if your day job doesn't pan out you might have a future in customizing kayak trailers 😁

      Thanks. It took a lot of moving stuff around and doing things over a few times. I look at the trailers that you can buy. Way above what I built. But this works great for my needs.

    Like what you did with the second teir. Would like to put a rod locker or tube on. Any suggestions on doing that with what you already started? Thank you.

    Hope you see this. Question, so did you use thin wall pvc like sewer pipe and not schedule 40 thick wall? I’m looking to do a trailer and bought sewer pipe, thin wall, to save money now I’m second guessing it.
    Also, Did you use 4" PVC?
    Thanks.

      You should have a metal company around you somewhere that would be able to sell the same size as your trailer is when you would cut and welded together to extend it
