Had two buddies that decided they needed platforms like mine so I built two more up using 1.5" tubing and all XOP parts. They work great! I also swapped the tubing on mine from 1" to the 1.5" and it seems there's a tad less movement in the seat when I stand out on the end.

Onlinemetals.com. Price was cheap for 36". Just cut it myself. You can get them cut to whatever you want I think.

Sorry guys I meant to say 1.25" tube lol. That's what I used. It fits the XOP hardware perfectly.

You haven't bent one yet? How much you weigh?

I weigh 235 and have basically the same set up. I was on it today testing it out and it was fine. Mine weighs 4.3 lbs with my has tree strap so I imagine with a amsteel sling it should be a little less
 
Im right at 220 and I've never bent one yet. And i use mine right to ten hours a day when hunting .... and I stand not sit 70%+ of the time
 
These things are awesome, I'm 220# and my feet needed a platform. I'm with Dave, I stand at most of the time. Makes me think I can get rid of my new tribe and go down the sit drag route.
 
I bent the first one i stepped on, too scared to try another one.:eek: I used a solid piece of aluminum for the post, maybe the lack of flex put all the force into the seat?
 
Unless, you are really big I have a hard time believing it will happen. One of my buddies is 280 and it hasn't bent yet. Maybe it takes more time at the higher weights. Anyone over 300?
