Needed a stand for the yak so off to the local tip recycle shop, brought 2 folding aluminium chairs with ripped seats for 50 cents each., they have high density foam arm rests and are perfect for what I want.

Drilled out the rivets holding the backrests on and I now have 2 lightweight, portable, folding yak stands.
