Riding a dog sled is an interesting task, but for it you need sledges, with which you can carry the goods and ride yourself. The author made the simplest sledges from a plastic chair and skis.
For the manufacture of homemade sleds, the author required the following materials:
- skiing,
- a plastic chair,
- a wooden rail with a length equal to the greater distance between the legs of the chair along the outer edges,
- fasteners,
- drill
- strong rope
Step 1.
To secure the chair for skiing, it is necessary to install the chair, departing from the front and rear edges of the skis at approximately the same distance. The chair can be fastened with the back forward, then you can lean when moving on the armrests of the chair from a standing position. You can install the chair with the back to move back while sitting, but in this case it will not be safe to jump off the chair in time in an unusual situation.
Step 2
Having chosen the location of the chair, it is firmly fixed on skis. The rear legs of the chair are mounted directly on the skis, and the front legs are mounted on the bar, and the bar is already on the skis, since the distances between the front and rear legs of the chair do not match.
Step 3
After fastening the chair, the rope from the harness is refueled.
When testing homemade sleds, you must be extremely careful to avoid personal injury.
