hi i need to make a barge very quickly by wednesday this week, it does not have to be great just needs to float, an can load stuff on to.

I.E bleach bottles an weights, only 3 to be correct, does anybody have ideas.

i did think about a flat board 2feet long with polystyrene to help it float? is this to light thanks

Chris try a old door, or cupboard door, from a second hand building shop this is both  cheap and ideal or cut down a old surf board,or better still a learn to swim board like a booge board,we have a barge which is two doors glued together and shaped as a barge stits on the roof racks carrys a tug or two and easey for three or four tugs to push around tassie48.

depending on the size what about ice cream tubs , the cheap tesco value type , just bolt them together.
