tips on making one?I've used (mult-iday touring) a BoB trailer loaded up to 25 kg & it's rated to 32 kg. See http://www.bobtrailers.com/
For large &/or heavy loads you will need to build something.http://www.bikecartage.com/ in Canada make a 2 wheel trailer for loads up to 205 kg.
Moz in Sydney made himself a large trailer. See http://www.moz.net.nz/bike/build/megatrailer/index.html
I couldn't see myself towing a 70 kg load very far or over many hills. Biggest problem after getting your load moving is STOPPING IT!, put brakes on your trailer.
You could also hire a truck/ute/car. 😉

mozbike.combuildOpen ↗ One less ute and Mega trailer might be useful.Eventually I will get the photos of my bob style heavy hauler up.

BTW, you may have a .au address, but by saying "lumber", you aint fooling anybody that you are
local. :-)
