We have been searching for a method to suspend steel that is highly portable and fairly light. Most of our steel is set in locations that are not vehicle friendly, thus we get to pack the steel and holders on our backs.
These holders are light, easy to make, adjustable to the environment and easily packed.
Tubing (round) 2 inches in diameter and 6 inches long.
Scrap welded on one end to "close" it off so it doesn't slide down.
Solid wire bent at 90 degrees and welded to the pipe...
Use a steel post for the upright at 45 degrees or a bit more, then just slide the holder over the top, adjust the length of the baler belt, run the lag screw in with the electric drill and call your self the winner!!
If you want to leave the post and pull your steel, just lift the holder off the post and walk away. We have used them with steel from 3 inches to 36 inches. The only thing we do is put a wrap of baling wire on the light targets through the holder and around the steel to keep them from getting launched. The light targets at shorter ranges will fly off.
