After years of hauling our canoes and kayaks on a utility trailer I decided there had to be an easier way. It always took so long to nestle and secure the boats stacked on top of each other, then after the first bump in the road the straps would loosen up time and time again. After some research on RU-vid and different websites I came up with some ideas to multipurpose our 12x5 foot utility trailer with removable trees. This idea went even further after bringing it to my friend who is a fabricator. His engineering mind took the idea to the next level. Now we have a removable system to haul at least 6 canoes/kayaks. The coolers and other items can be transported as well in the floor or the trailer.
There are 4 receivers welded to the outside of the trailer frame. Each tree has 2 stingers that slide into the receivers. The trees then have a brace to each other and one brace to the front of the trailer to tie it all together.

This is an awesome build! I’m hoping to do something similar. Never welded in my life.. going to try and learn though.

Sorry for the delay, we were off grid for a while. The space is around 22 inches between. That could be adjusted to the size of your boat. We have both canoes and kayaks so that spacing works well for us.

Nice, simple, idea. A question I have is, once the floor rails are in the welded on square tubing/hitch receiver, do you run a bolt or anything through there to hold it in place?
@413OpenAir
@413OpenAir Год назад
I have a hitch lock for one of the receivers.

@@413OpenAir, awesome. I saw that, was wondering if that is all you had. So when traveling the bases do not move up and down from the hitches? I have a trailer I am converting, saw this video, and was like wow this just solved 1/2 my mounting issues and made it cheaper. I’ll be using unistrut for my bases, no trees, but it will keep it modular, so I can maintain the full functionality of the trailer. Great idea and I will be sure to reference your video for the idea. Thanks much!

Below you said this is 16 (.065) gauge 2x2 steel tube. I am building a similar unit. how did the 16 gauge hold up to the weight of the canoes? Local supply has 11 gauge (.125) but it's a little heavy at 2.25#/linear foot.

Dizzy Peron Thanks for your concern for our safety! Sorry, we had a friend fabricate it. Maybe you could find a welding/fabrication shop near you for your trailer.

What size tubing did you use and was it 2" receiver that you used?
@413OpenAir
@413OpenAir 3 года назад
The tubing is 2”. The receiver is 2” as well. That catches a lot of wind when there are canoes and kayaks loaded on it. We wanted to make sure the structure was solid. Thanks for watching!

WOW!!! this is exactly what I’m looking for do y’all have the schematics for this set up???
@413OpenAir

We had no schematics to go by. Luckily we had a good fabricator! What measurements are you needing?
@randallporteous7259
@randallporteous7259 4 года назад
413 Open Air I have a 5X10 so 5w is really all I need but the fabricator I’m talking to wants something to go off of... I’ll just slap something together for him no worries. If you don’t mind me asking how much did this run you cash wise. My guy dose not even want to throw a number out...

What gauge is the 2x2 aluminum tubing? (thickness)

@413OpenAir 3 года назад
My mistake in the video, it is not aluminum, it is galvanized steel.
