D-boy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Here are a couple of projects that I did a while back. I built this out of a old hot water heater, three old steel fence post, a 1/2" steel rod, and a couple pieces of 1/2" square tubing. Just add sand, dirt or cement if you want ( I used some old sand that I had ) and you have a cheap roller.(my tank is starting to get thin from the rust but I've used it for 3yrs now). I was needing a set of ramps one day while looking around for a couple of old boards I seen this steel fence post and wondered if it would hold sure enough they work. I load a polaris 425 in the back of a truck with these. They were built out of 7 6 1/2' steel fence post and some re-bar to help hold the ramps on the tail gate. After I built these I showed them to a friend and he used three fence post length wise and welded short pieces on the back to hold them together. He loads a Suzuki Samuri in the back of a stock trailer with his. I have also built some deer stands out of fence post (kind of heavy but will last a long time not like tubing). Just a added note steel fence post are made from recycled rail road iron. Would like to see other projects built out of fence post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippoVarga Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have two sets of loading ramps. My favorite are the lighter wood one's but occasionallt I break out the Fire truck running board ramps. The way I figure it....If they can handle a 49 chevy coupe they can handle anything. Great ideas! Keep em comin!! Sean aka Zippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
