Two questions:<br /><br />1) What is the correct shape for wheel chocks? I have been using pieces of 2x4 on the driveway, but for winter storage outside, I want to make some pressure treated chocks. I park the boat in the yard on an incline to assist with drainage out the plugs, so I want big chocks to keep it from rolling backwards. Also have that freezing/thawing thing going on here in NJ through out the winter and the ground can get rather soft at times. <br /><br />Will glue up some p/t 2x6 and cut them on the table saw. Just not sure if I should make them triangle, square or concave. <br /><br />2) The trailer owners manual says to take SOME weight off the springs/tires for extended storage. Need to make some sort of stands to go with the chocks. Thinking of a basic triangle shape stand from 2x6. Any suggestions on easy to make stands is greatly appreciated. <br /><br />PS. I have a lot of 2x6 pressure treated lumber I need to use up.
