Hey lads, just saw one of the lads have a high seat up for sale. Was just wondering if there is a site where i could get the plan or dimensions for some kind of metal high seat. I done an engineering course last year and i know a bit about welding and fabrication so if any of you could help id be gratefull. Thanks.

heres a pic of one a friend of mine knocked up. its made from an old aluminium ladder. he uses threaderd bar through the steps to connect everything. dont have plans but you can see by the pic how easy it is. it was to be used in a fixed permanent position so it was ideal. the hardest part was getting the rest made but an engineering shop bent it into shape for him. after that a little paint and bits of cammo and its ready to go.obviously its tied securely to a tree. hope that helps.
