Jack pads

I use some five quarter decking scraps from my porch construction. They are pressure treated and about a foot long. They work fine.

I use scrap plywood cut to approximately 8" x 8". They last for years and if new ones are needed I can cut more at zero cost. Dimensional lumber will split, plywood will not.

4 pieces of 1/2" 12x12 marine plywood, 2 6x6x16's, and 3 sets of the yellow lego blocks. I figure if that's not enough, I probably don't need to be there.

I used 8x8 treated.. by 16 inches.. attached ropes, end to end.. as handles.

the less you need to extend your jacks.. the more stable the trailer is.. when walking inside trailer.

my opinion..

and I am OLD...:)

I purchase the warped/damaged posts from Home Depot.. 80 percent off price. :) so real cheap... but I am there once a month anyway..

140 year old Home always needs something fixed/done.. and the wife to-do list.

Where do you get it?

I have 4x8 blocks cut from a used beam I bought at a lumber resale store.

Grainger, McMaster-Carr, Amazon, Global, etc. Mine were scrap pieces from a nearby plastic fabricator. Many pallets are now made of plastic also, that are discarded when they break.

Lowes, Home Depot, etc. all have plastic lumber also, same thing. Fairly expensive to buy but if you find a guy that builds decks he'll probably give you a bunch of cutoffs.

Duplicate sorry - hit the wrong button.

I have 4 pads approximately 9" & 9", made from UHDPE about 3/4" thick. Light weight, take up very little space, and work very well. If I need additional thickness I also carry a couple of 6-inch ± long 4" x 4".

Oops Never mind.

I bought a 2x10x10foot piece of treated lumber. I cut it into 16" lengths and I use some nearly everytime I go out.
