Pros:<br />

I think these <strong>design</strong>s would be easy to make almost<br />

anywhere in the world as most of the world has<br />

excess tyre and rubber waste.<br />

They would have a low capital investment.<br />

They could be implemented in third world or western<br />

cultures, either publically or privately.<br />

They wonʼt break down over time- at least they will<br />

take a very long time to do so, and will need little<br />

maintenance.<br />

All you will heed to make them is a tool to cut the<br />

rubber and a tool to bend the tubing.<br />

Cons:<br />

I am not sure how safe it is to sit on vulcanised<br />

rubber for prolonged amounts of time- it is toxic. For<br />

some places tyres or steel tubing may not be<br />

accessible.<br />
