Xmas gift for a gardener

[lighthawk]

My niece has bad knees so I built this for her Xmas present. Two layers of 1 inch thick closed cell foam vinyl covered.
Should keep her up off the cold wet ground and it is weather proof so she can just leave it out there year 'round.

It can also be turned over and used as a stool.

I saw a "store bought" one at a customers home last spring. She absolutely gushed over how it saved her back and knees. Hers was metal tubing but I don't have the tools to work with tubing hence my wooden version. I built a similar one for myself this spring as a prototype then built this one more compact and lighter than mine. One 8 ft 1X6, couple of pieces of foam, some glue, screws, a piece of vinyl, and upholstery tacks and Wallah.
Simple and easy to build and I agree every gardener should have one.
Rich.

My dear departed FIL made one several years ago. He made it to fit me! (I am wide in the hips ) I had a kneeling pad I can lay in it or on it. There is no way I could get up off the ground if I did not have it. Loved that man.
