Sled - Custom/DIY

Still need to add a board but free truck tire from a local midas shop. 6 dollar eye bolt that is probably way overkill from menards and the lifting sling from harbor freight for 11 bucks is super nice with basically built in handles. Probably going to get a long rope for pulls and some other way to connect to myself. Connected the thicker strap via a 2 dollar loop strap from home depot. Cant beat the value added a piece of scrap 1x10 I had laying around and got a flange and pipe at home Depot for another 14 buck. Still can't beat it!

I bought a Treadsled off of Facebook market place for $300.00. I also made a sled out of an old tire, so the neighbors don't get too mad when I drag it outside.

Tire and eye hook, scrap board on top with pin. Thats it! Works on grass, gravel, concrete. 15 minute build. Your one missing piece to get strong.

Usually dump the sandbag and a kettle bell into it for some dragging, it has some composite decking skids on the bottom which work great not to scratch the ground up with the screws

Made a tire sled from an old truck tire, some boards on the inside as a base for plates or sandbags, with an eyelet and tow strap from the local hardware store. Build quality will depend on the quality of each of the items you find for this, but it's the best low-budget sled option possible. And the kids love me dragging them around in it, so they say 10/5 stars.

Back when I first started to build a home gym (circa 2012), DIY items were common. The home gym market was pretty limited, and DIY-ing your equipment was also a way to gain some street cred among fellow home gym aficionados, of which there were few. And one of the easiest, and most cost effective, DIY fitness projects was a tire sled. It seemed like every big fitness channel either had one, or had instructions on how to make one. Zach Even-Esh had one, and so did Elliot Hulse. I wanted to be like them; I wanted to be a Pepper, too. So I made one. A used tire can be had for free (I found mine off the side of the road along a local highway), and all you need is a drill, an eyebolt, washer, and a hex nut. You can attach a chain or strap to the eyebolt and off you go. I also added a way to secure plates on top of the tire. The somewhat faddish nature of making tire sleds for home workouts have passed, but the product remains just as effective as ever. I put miles upon miles on mine and it is still going strong. If the tire eventually wears out, I can either flip it and drag it on the new side, or I can simply find another free tire and make another sled. One additional benefit of the tire sled vs. the metal sleds is that your neighbors won't hate you - at least not as much. It is pretty quiet when compared to the metal sleds. Having said all this, I'm giving it four stars rather than five with regard to performance because, due to the nature of its design, it can only pull or drag rather than push.

Another score from the local F45 that was shutting down. It’s clearly a knock off of Rep’s sled. The removable weight horn makes it great for loading sandbags on, then dragging it back. It’s clearly designed for indoor use though, the first try on the driveway resulted in some pretty big gouges in the metal. It’s only used in the park now.

Used a pallet and a rope. Now to shabby but after a few uses obviously it’ll break down depending on how much weight was on it.
