I use sawhorse that's only 18" tall, covered in carpet. I also built a platform that is 16" tall by 3' wide and 92" long. That's the length of a pre-cut stud. The top is 2" x 4" precuts w/about a 1/4" space between them. 2"x4" around the side w/4" treated posts in each corner. I the posts are real short because I have those cement blocks that are taperd and allow for a 4" post to set in them.U could make the posts longer and just let them set on the ground. Its very sturdy platform and I get at the back and walk up the right hand side and rope the dummy finishing on my right foot.then I pitch the slack and practice holding my slack as I step off w/left foot hitting the ground first. its a pretty good workout if you rope it twenty times. like all my ideas my wife hoo-rawd me, but now she sees some advantages,. She puts rugs on it to dry and they dry top and bottom due to the 1/4" spaces. You can dry saddle pads on it too. I used Thompsons water seal to seal it..maybe I can figure out how to post a picture of it.

a young barrel chested feller might want to rope and tie every day. Especially if he has a practice horse and plenty of calves, but at 69 my energy level is not that high.. If I don't have time or don't feel good I'll rope off that platform. If I feel a little more frisky i'll run the calves I have thru the chute and rope off that platform. Some days I ride my horse and practice my gitoffs at a walk, practice coming out of the chute at a walk, a trot , and a lope. Today I broke away. I think a feller can break the pieces down and maintain anyways. My horse is 18 now and he appreciates it..Im not talking to the young turks, but older fellows and people who have demanding jobs...I feel better now...
