B.P.R 2,798 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Anybody worked with HDPE ( high density polyethelyne....same material as industrial chopping boards ) before for catapults. I have 2 here made out of the stuff. Works just like wood so doesnt need and specialist equipment and doesnt have to be treated. 100% weather proof.... Ive had a couple of fork hits with the blue one of mine and it wasnt affected at all. I know there is other materials out there that are strong...multiplex....aluminium etc... But for weight, strength and durability....i really like the hdpe Whats your views on a durable, allround , material? Only negative i can see with the hdpe...is it loses some of its grip when wet...no more than a varnished piece of wood though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
