We have a small trailer in sections, around the same size, it will hold 400 -500 easy, with the birds having plenty of room, it sits well, dosent bounce at all.

will the damage on left side come out paul????

what have you been offered for it so far Paul?

yes it needs tacking back on where the weld has broken,but if your going to do that you just as well renew and be done with it.it will last for years then.

this looks like more than tacking work and its a shame you havn't a pic showing the side open for release.

looks like its had bang in side the frame looks out line thats why i ask

think they go out back phil loooks like one used to be in pill could be wrong useualy am

would be better if sides dropped, 75 birds a layer trying to get out 1 at a time wouldn't be good, the first birds would be ok but the birds still in the trailer will be going at the wire to get out! (more stress for the birds)

the mud guards are very heavy and are attached to the mesh of the bottom tier.i think over the years it probably has been banged a few times and pushed the mesh in.it has also had a few quick patch up jobs done to it along the way by the look of it,i believe that the mudguards and the mesh on the bottom tier should be stripped out and replaced on both sides,if you are able to weld i dont think it would be a hard job to do except for the cost of mesh and metal for mudguards.i will take some new photos tommorow,some further close ups of damage and with the sides down also.the trailer has only been in my possession for about 6 months,i have,nt used it myself,but i did pull it from the old owners to my house and i couldnt relly feel it on the back end of my car.it was empty i dont know what it would be like full.

you can buy plastic mudguards that bolt on and save yourselves a lot of money and unnecessery work

it is pills old one but looks like lyndon bridles old trailer as well not like that last time i saw it at pill club

i have decided to withdraw the trailer from the swap shop,it is going to our local garage tommorow to have some work done to it to improve the way that the birds are released and to have the bottom tier mesh and mudguards replaced with new material.i have been assured that there is no structual damage to the frame of the trailer so if it has been in an accident it must have been a light one.once all improvements have been completed i will offer it up for sale to whoever may be interested.thank you all for your input/suggestions which was what i wanted to make the trailer safe and comfortable for birds.

thats a shame, i've found a pair of fantails to swop for it.

apologies

trailer has now been promised,thank you all for your interest/comments.
