Renovation: A gypsy wagon for guests

The roof is curved like a traditional gypsy caravan with a slight overhang at the front and back. Structural pine was used for the roof beams and frame, and tongue-in-groove pine for the interior roof. The walls inside are marine ply. In keeping with the authentic design, Andrew even made the drawbars a horse would typically be attached to in order to pull the wagon (the white wooden poles on either side of the stairs). Here, they’re purely decorative. The wheels, also decorative, are made of meranti. The outside was painted with Duram’s water-based exterior enamel in White, Berkshire Green (dark green), Valentina Valley (light green) and Sandy Smile (pink). The stairs unhook from the front of the wagon.
