For the foam, you could use the dark grey closed cell used to make cartop strap on kayak racks

Diy platform idea
- Thread starter Weldabeast
- Start date
I actually thread the ratchet strap through the st elbow 45. I use 3 of them per set, they lock together and I separate them before tightening the strap. With the inside and outside roughed up with a sawzall blade they are not loud.
Hahaha...that's EXACTLY what I'm using on this one!
Other option would be cut down floor mat into your side panel shape and stack them in till stuffed then attach other side panel... Harbor freight sells the foam mat
If you had stacked foam you could adjust how firm it was with 2 thru bolts
Now........ how are we going to pack it in? It might be a little bulky.
Im thinkin if you deflate the bag, it cuts half the bulk. The foam cells will fold into each other. Still gonna be a bit bulky, but in thinking its gonna weigh in a a pound or less. 12 inches wide and 9 inches deep.
Weldabeast, you have skills. Like bowhunting skills, welding skills, invention skills. Girls only like guys that have skills! Hope you got the movie quote. Anyway....... what if you welded a frame and strung it with mesh real tight to create a comfy trampoline type platform at an angle
Im digging it!
No metal!
Does the valve on the squeezy thingy count?
As long as the ocb buckle doesn't count
AND he can catch you a delicious bass!
But you weave such a fine tapestry with metal like a potter with clay.....
I need some chapstick real bad
You don't think the foam is going to squeak on the vinyl blow up bag when it’s cold?
I just need some deer killin skill......
Probably. Maybe a fleece barrier between them?
I actually have a pack that I made for hauling in sticks that has several panels with foam padding and seams in the middle. Maybe if you made something of that sort with inside support, it could be dual purpose if the panels were folded into a triangle when it was strapped to the tree
Going to the wkshop for a pic now
