Hey Gideon,
I have used an old camping chair, both frame and canvas for my python.
I did not do it well. Looks really crappy. I figured out, doing it in
a proper way would be rather labour intensive. In particular the
mounting.
For my son's python I followed this link:
http://hebike.borec.cz/sedlo.htm
It is very easy to build, light!! and also gives you a lot of
possibilities for mounting.
You may want to consider this alternative.
cheers
Thomas

Hi Python Enthusiasts
When I built my bicycle trailer I used only what I already had.
This lead to different approaches than what I had planned initially,
but the result is very pleasing. I think doing things with what you
have forces you to think creatively.
So, what does this have to do with the Python? Well, I have canvas
(a very tough material used to make safari tents) and I want to use
it for the seat. The idea is to build a metal frame and to
"stretch" the canvas over it - almost like a rigid hammock.
Has anybody done something like this before? I only see "solid"
seats in the Python gallery (plywood, etc). If anybody has done it,
I would like to see some photos of how you did it. Any other advice
regarding building the seat will be appreciated.
Regards
Gideon Kahl
