All men are adventure seekers by nature. And rafting on a raft of your own assembly on a restless river is not an adventure? Dreams alone, of course, will not be enough. Therefore, we propose to carry out our plans and build a raft. Having built a raft and using it for its intended purpose, you will be convinced that a seemingly simple event, such as rafting down the river, can actually turn out to be a very interesting and even exciting adventure.
It is necessary
To build a raft, you will need a lot of plastic bottles with a capacity of 1.5 liters. Several planks, ropes, and several large bags
Instructions
Step 1
Building a raft is not as difficult as it might seem. In fact, everything is much simpler than it looks. Moreover, you do not need to worry about building materials, because everything you need is at your fingertips.
Step 2
The bags are fine for sugar or flour. Each bag holds about 30 bottles. The bottles should be placed vertically in two layers. Determine the number of bags required, taking into account how large the raft you need.
Step 3
Then make a raft frame from the planks. To fasten the boards together, use M10-M12 bolts, thanks to which you will ensure simplicity and reliability of the structure. After completing work on the frame, you can proceed to the direct assembly of the raft.
Step 4
Next, you need to secure the bottle bags on the assembled wooden frame. Use a regular sturdy hemp rope for this. Bags relative to the frame should be placed directly underneath for obvious reasons.
Step 5
Having fastened the bottle bags on the frame, you can assume that the raft is assembled. It remains to put a sheet of plywood on top or something else. It's up to you. You can go on an exciting voyage. Such a raft can easily withstand 5-8 people, rafting down a restless mountain river. It all depends on its size.
