No, not forums for the indecisive people.
After the Sleeping Princess trail run a couple of us started talking about getting bridging ramps or sand ladders to help get over a certain obstacle. After some searching I found the most popular option seems to be Waffle Boards. Here is an example :link:.
Waffle Boards are fiberglass reinforced panels with a square or rectangular grid pattern. The best onse have a gritted surface added to the top for improved traction. The fiberglass Waffle Boards tend to be cheaper and lighter than steel or aluminum and tires seem to get better traction on these grids in wet/muddy conditions than steel or aluminum devices.
My concept is to get 2 pairs or 4 total and mount them on cross bars on my roof rails. I can accommodate up to 6 feet in length and 12 inches in width per board. The best Waffle Boards I have found so far are at Paddock Spares :link:. These are 58.4”x 12.2” x 2” and cost $127.87 per pair plus shipping. This will produce a 4 ft x 5 ft “roof rack” area and would allow me to bridge a ditch almost 5 feet across. They should come in hands for getting over boulders also.
Does anyone have any experience or opinions with these or similar bridging devices?
