Project rRaft - Building a Raft out of Water Bottles

Step 7 The Platform

An earlier idea had a piece of canvas stretched across the frame like a trampoline. After spending 2 hours grommeting the canvas, and then another half hour stretching it over the canvas, I waited until the next day to try it out. The conduit was bent and the canvas ripped when I sat down on it. I wanted to do it like that to save on weight, but I'm now glad that I used plywood.

I painted a piece of plywood with some left over paint we had, then sanded and painted again. That's about it for the platform..what can I say? Plywood is simple.
