Surveyor Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I have a Penman Trailer direct form Witham but no "Duck Board" does any one have the size of timber and a setting out diagram to build a new one? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The Duckboards are made from approximately 40mm X 20mm tanalised soft wood, the profile is 'D' shaped with the square corners at the bottom and the rounded corners at the top. The lower rails run side to side and the upper rails run front to rear with approximately 125mm square openings. The measurements are approximate as all our trailers are out. The Duckboards are supplied by Penman MW Ltd, Heath Hall Ind Est, Heathall. Dumfries DG1 3NY. Penmans part number is K8232 the NSN is 2590-99-724-2328, they are quite cheap, the military only pay £54 each! I hope that this helps.

Thanks Clive, that shows the layout a lot better than I described it, I was going to print off the image on the 741, but that wouldn't have been any better.

robin craig Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Surveyor you are lucky to get a response with so much information, I asked the same question relating to the wide track trailers of the previous generation and drew a blank. You are lucky chum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John John Unfortunately Penman went into receivership and had none left, the timber merchant who supplied Penman only had a broken one and at the time I did not have a suitable vehicle to transport it to repair. I have the trailer manual now after posting the thread and can work out the spacing, but the information you have given means I can start setting out and getting the timber, nice job for fine summer days.

robin craig Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Richard, that is a great idea but has one minor flaw, I am in Eastern Canada and the nearest British Army base is an airfare away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveyor Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Thought I would up date this thread, got the timber in January but never got around till the lock down to making the thread. Cut all the timber first and set out the main frames first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Finally all put together, for information took 16No 2400x34x18mm pieces, I had taken sizes when at Witham which they kindly let me do when picking some gear up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwardle Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Very well done, indistinguishable from the genuine article. (See photo) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
