What else can I do? It hurts my back too much to stand up on the casting deck all day.

I thought about even putting a lawn chair up there with a L-bracket in the back so the chair doesn't slide backwards on the deck while I'm sitting on it.
a few pictures of the deck and what you are talking about might help !!!!
