on the beach at Galveston.

I'd offer two suggestions:
buy a saute pan from a thrift store, usually worn out and a dollar or two and remove the handle
The rounded bottom lets it slide easily.

use a 1/4 23 carriage bolt--it has a rounded head instead of a hex and will allow you to slide the the set up easily.

It beats spending $100 on a commercial product!
