We made two AWESOME modifications to our 5x8 mesh floor Tractor Supply Utility trailer, and we made one big mistake along the way.

We bought this 5 x 8 utility trailer in 2017 so that we could transport our ATV but now that we are living full time on the off grid homestead and building, we have a lot of other uses for it and these two simple modifications are a BIG help!

▬ ABOUT US ▬
We are a retired couple building a debtfree OFF GRID earth sheltered dome home in the Adirondack Park of New York State. We have a super tight budget (getting tighter every day), and are very careful managing every penny we've been saving since our 20's by repurposing, budget buying, and using free stuff. Check out our 'about' page link above for more information and join us to see how we manage the challenges of staying in budget!

Sincerely,
Rich & Kathie
