Full size picnic table carrier

Thanks for all the complements. If you caught it, I made some heavy duty steel plates that rest on top of the trailer bottom I beams and this product is secured with #8 bolts, washers and loc-nuts and these are right at the outside edge of the I beams. They sandwich this carrier in place so I didn't have to drill any holes into the trailer frame to mount this. It made installing this super easy. I only drilled two smaller holes for the U bolt that I attach the chain and shackle too.
Another video I made after mocking up the assembly and before powder coating sheet metal parts.

Beautiful workmanship. Thanks for sharing.

I hear you jimh425, we will see how that goes. I am also thinking of installing a sheet (to fit) of plascell secured to the bottom of this carrier for that purpose. Getting closer to the road so I would have to watch out for flooded streets etc. Maybe cut triangles off at the corners to allow drainage if water were to get in. Maybe I will just leave it open and see how it goes. being it is facing down I don't think it will get much of anything on it. I can always wash it down if that was the case. Were parked more than driving as we set this up as a destination rig.

Impressive build skills even if I can't imagine carrying something under a trailer.

One suggestion make a simple nylon bag to keep road grime off the table and slide it in as normal.

But really, every CG I've been to has a picnic table already.

What if you don't go to a regular campground? We have our own property and what the OP has done would be great to have a picnic table where one isn't available..AND it doesn't take up any of the normal storage area.

I love it... looks very professionally constructed.
