Yes, but you can learn!
It's an accessible project with the right equipment, which we provide.
There's no secret: welding improves with practice!
It's a skill that, if you're a DIYer, will serve you well—whether for repairs, furniture, or more.
Of course! We provide assembly plans and detailed instructions.
For learning to weld, we also provide links to online resources to help you get familiar with the tools.
With Kit 1, we include tubes and scrap pieces so you can practice before starting your trailer.
Plus, working with steel, especially for a project like a bike trailer, is quite forgiving: it's easy to fix mistakes...
And as I say in the workshop: we're not building rockets!
It depends on your equipment and workspace, but generally, three to four days for the frame.
