What do you need for making a bucking barrel?

Answer 1

You need a 55 gallon drum, 4 garage door springs, and 4 big posts each 9 ft tall (telephone posts if capable) and some cable about 1 and 1/2 thick, and a few screw in eyes Take the 4 posts and positition them about 15 feet apart making a giant square. Put them in the ground at about 3 ft with concrete. Drill holes in the front and back of the barrel around the sides, and weld the eyes onto the barrel at the holes if capable if not thread through the cable and attach it to the barrel and run the cable towards the post. Attach the garage door springs to the cable and one more time at the end of the spring and attach those to the poles using the eyes. Place carpet over the barrel and the springs to add a little comfort and have fun. (Remember the barrel should be about 5 to 6 feet.)
