Salvage Sailor Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I've parked my can on one of these tin can chairs many times. Light, durable and surprisingly comfortable even in heavy seas.

RustyCanteen Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think Arby's or some other chain used those at some locations a few years ago too. If it ain't broke dont fix it!
