Platform

[Ckwilli]

Rainy and 25-30 mph winds today so I’m board at home. I’ve been thinking about a platform for the top of my muddy stagger step and I’ve got some aluminum plate in the garage. More to follow……..

I’ve seen those. I promise mine will not be anything that fancy! You’ve got some talent.

Here is my prototype. I think a little more tweaking and maybe adding some anti slip tape to the top.

Slippery if pushing off the side to rotate...maybe grind some divots on either side...
Nice setup

I ordered some of this for the top

I finally got a chance to climb and stand on it yesterday afternoon. It’s pretty comfortable and 100% improvement over just standing on the top step. It does add a pound or so to the weight but it’s not terrible to carry in.

Did you just drill 3 holes through the top step and bolt through those? Or did you use some kind of bracket?

Looks like about 12x12?

Looks great. Easy build.

Just drilled 3 holes and use automotive grade bolts. That was probably overkill but I had them already. I added the grip tape too.

What size bolts did you use? I don’t want to drill a too big of a hole.

Oooh, I don’t remember. I’m at work till tonight. I could probably get back with you tomorrow.

I went with these so I didn’t have to drill the steps.

That’s probably a way better idea.
