Make a Sled | DIY Snow Sled

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I made these DIY snow sleds in about 30 minutes each! After an uncommonly large snow for North Mississippi, I wanted my boys to have the opportunity to sled.. but they're not for sale around here. With all kinds of random material at my disposal, I came up with a plan for what I thought would be some quick and easy to build sleds and the boys loved them!

    Thanks, I really doubt it! Definitely less than $20 of material each. And that just because wood is so damn high right now. With normal prices, probably more like $10.
