leaseone Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I use one of those fold up £10 chairs (the one with the drink holder)but it does get a bit battered as it is only light alloy what should I buy as a replacment I do have to carry my gear as the ground is to wet to drive round.

Cranfield Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Try a spinning seat drum, you can put nets inside it. Do a "Search" on here there have been lots of threads about hide seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I use my step sons stool from his old drum set, its spot on being lightweight, adjustable height and has a spinning padded seat, apparantly you can pick them up for about £15.00 from music stores. I highly recommend them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerseaDavid Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I use one of those fold up £10 chairs (the one with the drink holder)but it does get a bit battered as it is only light alloywhat should I buy as a replacment I do have to carry my gear as the ground is to wet to drive round. That is the same chair that me and my dad use. They are great but not so easy to get out of if you are in a rush they are the best chairs I have found that have a good back rest. I used to use an old plastic oil barrel which was a nice hieght but it was not good for our backs after a long day in the field. We did used to use a deck chair each but they were a bit on the large side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I use an empty 25litre plastic drum with a rope tied round handle so i can carry it across my shoulder and then use a small cushion for comfort.Total cost-zero,but still comfortable enough for hours and is right height too.

Cranfield Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just done a search and it only comes up with 3 things Try again and just enter the word "seat" into Search. Many threads about decoying equipment also discuss seats, its not just in the topic title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I brought a small fold up chair at one of the game fares for a Tenner, and it is very comfortable plus its in camo as well, so the pigeons cant see my backside when im sat in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokie Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Spin seat drum . Saves your neck hurting when looking over your shoulder. You just turn you and the seat with ease . I fill i with what ever I can going out to the hide and then lob all the empty carts in to come back. The only downside is no back rest but it is the right height for getting up in a hurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I always found that the problem with seat with legs, is that the legs sink into the ground. The spinning drum seat, or a shooting stick are the best options IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mec 9000 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Have bought as many seats but have always had a problem with getting the right height. For me my backside has to be slightly higher than my knees, makes it much easier to stand quickly if needed. Made a couple which have been great. Two aluminium tubes about 2 inch dia. one fitting neatly inside the other but able to slide up and down, weld onto these 6 inch square alum plates drilled for bolting onto round bum size wooden plates. drill several spaced holes in outer tube for spigot which I attached to tube with sink chain. Pro's are, won't sink, adjustable height and swivels or locks up by drilling a couple of holes in inner tube and putting spigot right through. Cons, A bit bulky to carry but great if you have wheels to get you to your spot. Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
