The one in my pic is made of plywood wrapped with carpet, angle iron from bed frame, one sheet of 1/2" plywood cut into two pieces and I had two 2x3's running lengthwise under neath and attached to the plywood with carriage bolts.
Basically, the 2x3's and the angle iron the side supported the weight of us and if you look close you will see a ratchet strap holding the whole thing to the stairs. taken apart, it was basically two pieces of 3x3 plywood and a couple of 2x3's that we put in the back of the truck.
I had often thought of making it narrower and sliding out from behind the stairs.. But never got to it.
Total cost was probably $50.00
