Sub-frame Materials

Only learnt about tiny houses about 6 weeks ago and my partner and I decided to construct one. After searching on the internet for trailers a friend suggested that perhaps we could mount it on skids and move it on a tilt tray truck.

Sounded like a great idea. I located 2x150mmx100mm rolled hollow section (RHS) in a demolition yard that had tabs welded at 600mm centres and three vertical tabs on each side. The tabs will act as brackets for the floor joists and wall foot plates respectively. 

These will be perfect.
