"Lawn Chair" Snowshoes FARM HOME recreation 31-1-32 "I made a pair of snowshoes from the backs of four old lawn chairs made from round aluminum tubing," says Ken Voigt, Wausau, Wis.
"You can make the snowshoes any size you want. I came up with the idea after a new snowshoeing trail was established in our area. I already had the 90 degree corner tubing because of the way the chairs were made. I cut the straight tubing into lengths as needed. I inserted pieces of wood dowel stock inside the tubing to join the pieces together, then secured them with screws. I used conveyor belting for the covering and also for the boot sockets, and rubber tie-down straps to hold my boots in place. I used screws to secure the conveyor belting. All the screws were driven from the bottom of the snowshoe, as the screw heads help with traction on hard, slippery surfaces."
