Handrail Makes Gravity Box Safer
 ✖  |
"While putting wooden extensions on a new gravity box, my 5-year-old nephew was playing inside the box and having a good time climbing and sliding around. That's when I got the idea of putting a handrail inside above the door to make it safer," says Art Thomas, Stryker, Ohio.
"The rail is about 5 ft. above the bottom of the door. I used 1/2-in. dia. rod and welded two small pieces of angle iron on either end of the rod and bolted them to 2 by 4's holding the sides to the box. The rail is about as long as the box so it can be reached from anywhere along that side of the box."
