I made a set out of tubing from an aluminum bakers rack and some aluminum stair tread theyre very sturdy but I had to tig weld them together and it took alot of time. wish I had pics for ya. If you are not an experienced welder I wouldn't attempt to make them yourself.

Been looking for quite sometime to pick up a used sliding door step. Have yet to find anything. Has anyone out there ever made their own? Got any pictures/plans?

Bummer, I'd have shipped it to you...seriously. |
