Jim, looks like you could attach it to the wood joists right above the truck and make a swing out of it if the picture is at your place or attach it a big kite and pull it behind the truck

Turn it into a porch swing?

Hang that baby from a tree branch

[JimVT]

Hang it from a big old coil spring as a bounce chair. Use your imagination.....

 

[MNoutdoors RIP]

Tie 20 weather balloons filled with helium to it and go take some pictures of the mountains ( remember to bring the pellet gun so you can come back down )

That is the idea, add skis and pull it behind the Snow Trac or your PB!

three skis and the front for steering? then you can ride the chair.

The only draw back I see is if the chair is empty who would steer? And kids could take it off trail if not paying attention... I was thinking a ridgid tounge, long enough to keep track dust off for the most part..

I would hang that. all above sound good to me.

Around here they take very large (iron spoke) implement wheels and put them on the sides and make them yard art. very comfortable and then when winter rolls in they could be fit with skis and tugged around.

possibilities are endless.

Up in NH there are a bunch around and they are mostly hung either fixed or allowed to swing.

I have a Cranmore Skimobile and a Wildcat Gondola. Nice others appreciate this cool stuff. Gondola was mounted on a rock once in life. They just look cool hanging. Would love a two person chair from a NH mountain i life.

Putting in a pool this fall and I wanted to mount a bench seat on some narrow gauge railroad tracks so it slides back and forth. A chair like that would fit the bill.

had to get it moved so I just hung it on my hill.
thanks for the suggestions. i'm still thinking about that coil spring idea.

Just got a e-mail that Crystal is selling the High Campbell chairs for $971! Jim and I both have the Queens chairs, and they sold for half that much!

 

[JimVT]

the deal is the chairs belonged to the insurance company and the office was overwhelmed with calls. that could have run the cost up.
i wanted one more and make a merry go round type deal but couldn't justify the $4oo for one more.
