Movable seat and knee pads for tile work

Those tile workers who work on large areas know how tired the back and knees are.

Agree, even with knee pads in this position it is difficult to work all day. It is advisable to have support on the back point as well. This will relieve the knees and back. In the west, craftsmen often work on this roller seat with knee pads:

Called: knee stool. The design is somewhat reminiscent of an orthopedic knee chair. The cost is high - from 18 thousand. rub. Because the product is simple, it is not difficult to make it yourself from the pipe (slide 2 and 3). Bicycle saddle, knee pads and furniture wheels are purchased. Assembly requires welding. If the appearance is not important to you, then the seat can be made of plywood or a board.

This is a very inexpensive option to manufacture. Instead of knee pads in the cutouts with a furniture stapler, they fix a dense fabric (tarpaulin, for example) or several strips from textile slings. The seat can also be made of plywood. To make it softer, put 2-3 layers of expanded polypropylene (isolon insulation) on it and sew it with a cloth or leatherette using the same stapler.

Who does not want to make a seat - the option to purchase such knee pads on wheels in China is:

Price for one piece. Size: 29.5x22x8.8 cm. Three colors to choose from. Linkon aliexpress. Buyers pictures:

They can also be fitted into the plywood seat structure. Where necessary - use separately. And where you can sit - together.

The seat simplifies the work of laying tiles, increases the speed of work. The back is not so tired, the knees do not strain when squatting. I remember when I knitted reinforcement for the foundation-slab, after work it was difficult to get up - this is how my knees became numb after several hours of sitting.
