mel b3 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 hiya guys , a few pics that ive been meaning to put up for ages , a few more are still to come when its finished. i wanted to make a highseat that could take two shooters , and was more comfortable than a normal highseat . its positioned near to a release pen on one of my permissions , i still need to add the camo netting that was kindly donated by tightchoke , the plastic/pvc for the hide cover was kindly donated by rodp , and the hide was sewn together by my good lady , the scaffold tower was given to me by a mate. ill be dragging a couple of chairs up there when i find something suitable.

mel b3 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Arghhh! You've planted a seed now. Looking good there. Waiting to see what you do with the inside. the inside will be very basic , just a couple of garden chairs and a flask and sarnies , i did think about a solar panel to keep a battery charged for a lamp , itll just make life a little more comfortable when im keeping an eye on the poults for the syndicate.

webber Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I love a scrap heap challenge. Give some consideration to the wind loading as the PVC sheets will act as sails. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give some consideration to the wind loading as the PVC sheets will act as sails. webber that did worry me a little bit , the scaffold tower itself has tubes (very heavy gauge , im guessing steel gas pipe)knocked through the bottom tier with a sledge hammer and approximately four feet into the ground , the tower is also fastened together with tech screws , i then hammered proper scaffold tubes into the ground around three feet , and fastened ratchet straps from them to the tower , im hoping that its enough as im not at my best with heights .
