Cup Holders

In selecting inexpensive chairs for the second row, I realized I somehow needed to provide cup holders for these. Since the chairs were packed unassembled, I could see where I could mount an extension arm to hold the cupholder. All that was needed now were a few pieces of metal, a suitable cupholder and some screws. Check out the photos below for the results.

Materials:
1/8" x 2" x 3' aluminum stock
Plastic cup holder of your choice (for the ones I used, visit www.iboats.com and search on drink holder)
Hardware to fasten cup holder to aluminum

The inexpensive chairs I purchase for the second row were reasonably comfortable but they lacked cup holders, which I considered a necessity. I first started by mocking up something using aluminum stip.
My second attempt involved a plastic cupholder found at my local automotive supply store. It was much better but still not everything I wanted.
My final version uses a cup holder insert from a boating supply company. This one is the best so far. It holds the glasses and cans better and is more comfortbale to rest your hand on.
