Hello everyone.
As I did last time i am putting together an order for UHMW 48 wide 10 ft long Blue Iron high resistant sheets and passing on the savings to my fellow Alaskans
This is uv treated and I can attest great sled material. I know of none available or comparable in the state at these prices or for any price. . I am happy to share what I know and photos on building them
Northern sled works are charging $1600 for a sled now
I have hitch designs that I have proven far superior when hauling big loads and happy to share the design. i
I am seeking to get at least the 10 to 19 sheet price break. If we can beat 20 sheets even better.
$256 for 10 to 19 sheets. $229 per sheet if we get 20 or more


There will be two options.
Option 1 delivered to anchorage on a flat pallet
$256 per sheet $144 shipping - $400 total.give or take a few dollars
Payment will be to me I will make payment to horn plastics. I can see if they will take direct payments also. Trying to make it as easy on them as I can as they are really working with me on this order. Even though sheets can be mailed to multiple people they all go toward our bulk order.

Option 2 If you live in bush Alaska there will be an option to ship right to your village. Sheets will come rolled up and mailed USPS ground advantage.
Pricing to have a sheet delivered to your village
$272shipping plus $256 sheet costs = $528 total to your post office. mailed to Alaska. Given the fact that shipping a sled from Anchorage to your village would prob be the same cost it’s a great deal.
1/3 the cost of a new sled. Not counting hitch.
More on hitches later.
For now contact me here though message or text or call me at 907-299-2733 I hope to get this order together this next week.
I am only building my sled none for others.
I build and pull three sleds at a time.
Great wood hauling sleds
Trapper and wood haulers take advantage!!

Len I've missed reading your posts ! Darn nice offer and a even better looking sled and hitch system you developed for it .
This year down here I've not had a reason to even fire up my sled much less need a pull behind sled but it's still early and with plenty of time for that to change .

I'll 2nd Waggler's inquiry on how you built you're set up .


You're friend along the snare line .

I always have terrible results searching the archives but I believe Len did a sled building thread.
Maybe someone with more talent can do a search and find it!
