View Full Version : FFD Trailer Set Up

Due to the recent purchase of FFD's I had to redo my trailer and this is what we came up with. There are four independent shelves on hinges that will fold down by lifting the middle of the shelves and removing the two legs that are centered.

In the front is where we store the blinds. I had to use a cargo net to secure decoy bags on the shelves. I store eight bags of FFD lessors and 3 bags of FB ducks on the shelves, and the 9 bags of FFD Canada's fit well on the floor.

Really sweet set up Nick! Very clean and practical. What are the shelves made of? Expanded metal? Do the legs fold or do they just detach? You ought to put this on the goose forum also as there are always questions on setting up trailers and storing full bodies.

My buddy and i got a trailer for the 06 season in the front we have 10 doz fullbody mallards. and then on the floor we have 6 doz FFD lessers... They fit so perfect its not even funny its perct for a 2 man hunt cause 2 powerhunters fit in between the dekes to its money... If i would consider getting anymore decoys i definalty would take your way into consideration thats a great idea

It is a 6X12 V nose, with a ramp door.

Thanks for all the kind words! I spent quite a bit of time figuring out something fast and easy and very orgainized. If anyone is interested in having one built please contact me. For the quality and strength it was very inexpensive.

Yes the shelves are made of expanded metal with a square tube frame. each hinge is rated at 500 lbs. The legs just pull up out of a bracket that is screwed to the floor.

I like the shelf set up...I've been running the rod method for some time, but now with all the motion decoys and how great eh 6 slot bags work for getting the decoys in and out of the field, I'm trying to change up my trailer too.
