  8. hello i have used an old lynton 1ton tipping trailer. i took off the body then made a frame out of 50x50 angle then ply sides with doors at the rear and a side door. it has a false bottom to the rear with an area for cooker and brew kit so are easy to hand. it is the same track as my wrangler so were that fits the trailer does. it has a normal tow hitch and a big chain too the brakes which are the rod type the chain is also there to stop theft as fasten to the jeep with paddlock and high tensile bolt. couple of years back went up to do geral wades road and it towed great just make sure most of the wieght is to the front and then watch your tongue weight. should be good with a disco with jeep been light it was a nightmare. i looked at horse boxes they did not have enough grown clearance. swanny

  12. easy way is to get some 25mm ply or even 18mm ply. and like you said have 1 half concertina the othe half as a personal door. you will need some 18in band hindges 16 of for the end were fit to the opening and some double flat hinges for the concertina 3 of. dont go to b&q try a farm supply shop of a timber yard. if useing 18mm ply run some 25x18mm pse timber around the edges. swanny
  13. dig hole then cover bottom with sand lay blue viscuen polythene on bottom 7 up the sides like forming a pond. then lay 6-9inch concrete with fall to 1 end so you are not stood in water even put little well in so u can scoop water out. then build your walls up in 9in hollow blocks.bring poly up sides get some comprashion bords like felt ?. put between poly and your infill then fill blocks with wet concrete to the top then concrete floor. if over 8ft long build in a piller to stop walls from falling in and crushing you. hope this helps its a job n a half to keep water out. swanny
