stumper chip deflector

[jsk]

Just wondered what everyone has been using for a their stump grinder. I have made one from plwood with hinges but that is to heavy. Tried a wood frame with a tarp bolted to the frame. That got shredded by the wood chips. Is there a way to make a fairly light weight durable chip deflector im out of ideas at the moment. Thought of trying canvas but not sure how to make the out of and still be halfway light and still foldable.

I use one of these. I put it in the danger zone between the grinder and windows, cars, anything of value. The rubberized screen steals the energy out of rocks and they fall to the ground. It also acts as a containment measure. Less yard to clean up. The welds suck. I am thinking about getting one made to the same size out of aluminum this winter. YMMV

Go to the search engine and type in " Secondary screening for stump grinding " many pages and suggestions on the available options.

$300.00!!!! Holy Hannah, I want to make the money you do for stumpin'!

I use 3/8" plywood with mechanics wire for hinges. When you hit it with your grinding wheel, it ain't $300.00 to replace.
