Paid 935 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm hating these plastic sledges, i must of killed 4 or 5 in the last few years, so I'm going to make something better, maybe a standard old fashioned type, but before i do thought id ask you lot it you have any good ideas for something than can survive a few winters with adults and bigger kids using them, but also be userbal for younger kids ? I dont want to go back to my own youth, of car bonnets and bent over corrugated iron sheets, as i sort of like my kids faces as they are. So just looking for any ideas really.
