Folks,
I do like having low-seats scattered around my grounds, as where appropriate, they offer a comfortable ambush position and supported shots.
A couple weeks back Glyn Ingram posted with an idea that I have leapt all over.
Using the cage of an IBC as a two-person low seat.
Easily and quickly converted, light enough to be re-positioned and moved by just one man/woman/other.
Pretty much maintenance free, you can paint the frame to give a bit less contrast. If you want to hide shooter-movement, a cam net is easily attached as needed. My nets are mounted on a bungy rope & clip on in seconds. The seat height can easily be altered to suit shooter / intended location.
Just remove the plastic liner (can be cut to make a perfect 1x1.2m boot liner/deer tray/quad sled) then take the cage off the pallet-base.
Cut out a couple of the centre link tubes to allow easy entry to the basket. 22mm pipe-lagging (4m) costs a few quid and as a shooting rail, is easily replaced after a few years of squirrel attack.
A bit of scaffolding plank (1.21m) makes a great seat, I use what-ever size wooden bars are needed to offer desired seat height.
Matt paint to suit your terrain.
Job done!
Cheers
Ian
