Raft Frame

See the sample design above for an idea of how your frame might look, however other teams did a different design.  This design used 14 barrels and other teams have used up to 20.

There is another sample design, which was laid out with 24 barrels, see the sample video.

Permitted materials:

• Pioneering poles
• Manila ropes – see the notes about rope for tying the various components

WARNING: It is very difficult to tighten lashings enough on square timber, we strongly recommend you use round poles.

See the Water safety requirements too.
