I have short legs (no jokes, please, LOL) and I want to be Taller.
At 6'1 if I build stilts with the steps 24" off
the ground, than I will be 8'1. Now that ain't short.
Truthfully, I want to build 2 sets so my son and I can go walking together. I remember having a set with the steps 8' up when I was young. I would get on the stilts from the roof of our Garage. It was a lot of fun. So I want to share that fun with my son.
I am going to estimate the cost of materials because I don't know how to determine exactly what it will take until I actually start building them.
I plan to build them using 2x3 lumber, and steel straps bent to make the steps.
so, 4 8' boards and 4' of 2" steel strap
If you vote for this, I will get a video of us walking on them.
Disclaimer...The video is nobody that I know. (more)
