Mo Murphy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 How best to go about this ? Should I use round tube or box section for strength, I've seen both for sale ? If round is best (it certainly looks better), can anyone bend a couple of bits of tube for me ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks les, that's jolly decent of you ! If round is best then I may well take you up on that If square is the stuff to use then it'll be out with my trusty hacksaw Has anyone else done this or have an opinion ?

GBMUD Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 How does a rock slider differ from a tree slider? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 A rock slider is just a length of box to protect the sill. A tree slider has a tubular rail projecting from the side of this to keep the body away from tree trunks etc. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo If anything I would say the tube will be stronger (less welds), better in operation (smooth entry and exit from tree's) and more aesthetically pleasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
