Sled Deck Build

[@TentOX]

You are a craftsman!

[@billygrossjr.5585]

Haha thanks, it’s nice when things go as planned!

[@hairsracing8013]

Do you have any close up pics of this build? I want to know how your ramp slides into the deck, and how it hooks onto the back of the deck when you load your sled

[@billygrossjr.5585]

I will try to take some pics next time I take it out 👍

[@billygrossjr.5585]

I took some pictures of it but can’t figure to link them in the comments lol. I can send them to your email if you would like?

@@billygrossjr.5585 I actually got my deck all built, Thankyou

[@jerretn99]

What did you use to hook the ramp on the deck, also what did you do to lock it in place

[@billygrossjr.5585]

The end of the ramp has notches cut in the ramp itself to hold it in place when loading. There is a pin that holds it in place when in transport 👍

materials and cost breakdown? Great build man.

[@billygrossjr.5585]

Thanks man! The aluminum was just shy of $900 + whatever plywood costs in your area are. The ski glides came off another sled deck I had built so with the metal, decking, and turnbuckles to attach it, it cost about $1000 to build. I could build the same one out of steel for probably $600-650

@@billygrossjr.5585 1"x2" square tubing? what is the estimated weight of the deck?

[@billygrossjr.5585]

JeenYus Yep, 1x2 by 1/8th with 2x3 angle for the sides. Without the plywood I could pick it up and move it pretty easily, probably 150 lbs without the decking and the ramp probably weighs 50 lbs. My steel deck was probably 450 lbs.

[@billygrossjr.5585]
