Has ANYONE come up with or know of DIY platform for we steps?

Hey guys looking for a platform for we steps without breaking the bank. ive looked through several threads and have not found anything yet. Hoping someone has got it figured out. Still pretty new to all of this so don't have a lot of time watching my dreams come true. Thanks for the help

There is a plywood platform that works great for WE steps. Search the forums and you should find detailed measurements.

The plywood platform only works on the Primal steps. The crossbar( where you put your foot) is in a different position(up higer) on the we stepp not allowing enough room for the 3/4 plywood to level out. Might have to stir the potion pot around on this one.

Someone came up with a platform that uses a door hinge

A new WE platform

So I made this platform this summer but I've waited to post until I was confident that it would hold up. After a couple dozen sits it shows no signs of fatigue or deformation in the platform or step. It's super simple just a 6" aluminum channel and industrial door hinge W/ grade 8 bolts. Weighs...

Had no idea. Assumed primal and WE were the same. I’ve had this on my to do list for a while. I guess I can cross it off now.

I found the slight downward lean it creates on the WE step was actually a good thing vs Primals. The way you lean or sit in a saddle doesn't fit a perfectly level platform. When level, it puts your ankles in a weird angle and, for me, the downward angle feels better. I even set my other platforms on that downward angle now after testing the plywood on WE.

You are seeing something different than I am. When you put the plywood in the end of it towards you is not pointing down but pointing up

Sorry, trying to find my pics now, if I still have them. I tried so many options, it may have been the last one I designed that had wings that went around the tree and mounted different than the std plywood design. I was using slots that the 2 prongs went through on that one.

Awsome would love to check it out...im brain storming right now when i nail something down. Ill toss it your way!

Sorry, I can't find the pics, but it was during the build of this version that I stumbled into the downward angle thing, and may have even been when I tried the Perch on a Primal step now that I think about it. I agree, it normally would tilt up with plywood.

Cam over step platform...

There’s my platform! That was the first attempt I made at it and I’m still using that same piece of plywood.
