If you want to float a huge amount of accumulated plastic bottles, make a raft from them yourself. Due to the innate ability of these bottles to stick to the surface of water, this will not be difficult at all.
Necessary
- - plastic bottles;
- - bags of sugar or flour;
- - boards for the frame;
- - bolts М10-М12 for fastening boards.
Instructions
Step 1
The main material for building a homemade raft is plastic bottles, which are very easy to accumulate nowadays in a fairly short period of time. When you have collected a sufficient number of empty plastic bottles, start making your waterfowl.
Step 2
You will also need flour or sugar sacks to build your raft. Therefore, take care of their availability in advance. The number of bags will depend on the size of the raft you want to build.
Step 3
When the bags have accumulated, place the plastic bottles in two layers in an upright position. But keep in mind that for your unsinkability, plastic bottles should be with tightly twisted corks.
Step 4
Now start making a rigid frame from the boards. To do this, fasten the boards together with M10-M12 bolts, which will ensure the simplicity and reliability of the frame structure. On the basis of such a raft, you can make a ferry or a bridge for crossing a water obstacle.
Step 5
After the frame is built, proceed with assembling the raft. Attach the bottle bags to the assembled frame using a rope or rope in order to strengthen the assembled structure.
Step 6
That, in fact, is all, the raft from plastic bottles is assembled! Do not forget to place a sheet of plywood or other covering of your choice on top of it. Once you have finished building this homemade raft, you will soon be convinced that you can safely rely on it in any dangerous voyage.
