Any one know where to get one in Canada? Something along the lines of this...

Lots of places have them online but I don't see any up north. Let me know before I spend the extra cash on shipping/brokerage.

You could get one made. Go to your local Weld shop and talk to them about it. Prob the cheapest way.

I've actually got a friend who's brother is in welding in high school. Maybe I'll get him to make one. They're so simple its hard to justify spending $200 bucks on one.
Thanks for the responses

mark st jules sells them here on van island. $180. shipping would be around $50 by grey hound bus.

or have someone make it. do u have a local high school that has a welding class in it. approach the teacher and see if they will make it a class project. then tell him u will be happy to pay for the material.
i did this here with a power rack and dumbells racks. paid $100each for 2 double tier double racks and $200 for a power rack.

I know of this person too. Good stuff...

That or you can buy a cheap wheelbarrow from craigslist or whatever... Then cut/unbolt everything from it... Leaving behind the tub. Fire a hole in the front, then attach a rope or better yet a chain to it. Voila a ghetto job sled! Prolly cost aroubd $30 to make and the best part is you can abuse it. Load some plates in then dump whatever else in.
