al4x Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 if you're still struggling I'll get some pictures of some local ones here when I walk the dog. They are fabricated and fit on a ladder basically have a pole through the centre of one of the rungs and are welded from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Browning' is sending me some pictures of his. I just don't want to make the same mistakes that someone else has made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Russ91 - Nice piece of work but my carpentry skills leave a lot to be desired. Infact - Me a piece of wood and a hammer is a disaster zone! OK with metal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutt Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) ladder only rough but as good as can manage Edited March 8, 2012 by scutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thank you scutt - I'm now imagining that in metal... Thank you Browning - pictures received. I'm now getting some ideas. Any more made out of metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Could the pics be posted I'd like so see some ideas iv made a few timber free standing ones. that looks good, please remember though the steps should all be wired through with a fencing tention wire or similar incase of rot or a joint breaking in the case of wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Excuse the sheite photography skills Grandalf but it was early. These are the ones that are near me. I'm sure Pavman could build you something similar, whether it would need a forklift to move it about though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 al4X - Super photographs of the construction method employed. Just the sort of thing I have in mind. Thanks for taking the trouble. Don't worry about the photographic skills. The Memsahib was a professional photographer back in the days when photography was all dark-rooom work and chemicals. Every time I pick up a camera she takes it away from me and says that I don't know what I'm doing - which is true if somewhat hurtfull! Pavman is on an aeroplane as I write. He is returning from very foreign parts where his lady took him on a surprise holiday to celebrate his 50th. Lots of sand and the last I heard of them they were both drinking vodka and he was swatting for his VHf Radio Licence exam! He has a mobile highseat but I'm not keen on the design.

al4x Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 these are so simple and won't corrode or suffer problems with the steps breaking etc. Ingenious but obvious fixing the main support through a rung as it really can't come adrift.

Quite a clever idea that. I suppose bored out for suitable bar and a couple of scaffold clips it could be moved using one ladder for multiple seats?

Yep - It seems to be just the ticket. I want to be able to move it around the 1000 acre shoot that I run. Leave it for a couple of weeks in one place then move it on.
