Instead of a kneeling pad, why not a tool to help you stand up? The photo is self-explanatory. Here is a list of the parts you'll need (total cost about $5):
1 15-inch piece of 3/4-inch plastic pipe for the leg;
2 5-inch pieces for the feet;
4 4-inch pieces for the toes;
4 3/4-inch “Ts” for the joints;
4 1-inch rubber crutch tips;
Plastic pipe glue;
Household glue.
make a rolling seat. Make a box and add wheels. You can customize the height and pick the wheels best suited for your needs!
Hope that helps
:)
I purchased a kneeler/bench several years ago and it's still going strong. It is lightweight and can be flipped from a kneeler with supports to help you up, to a bench for sitting on to weed and such. Anything you would make may be too heavy for you to tote around. I have seen some priced as low as $20. I bought the Step 2 Garden Kneeler, which is $35 dollars and made of plastic. I think the metal ones would get too hot for me to handle in this SC sun.

they have a small rolling stool that will help you so much, i use it for trimming my roses-- you get them in the auto dept. and they are very sturdy and not to costly
I Don't know if you have an Aldies nearby, but I found one of those at Aldies real cheap. You may be able to find them if you go to their website. I got it for my hubby so he can weed sitting down, or care for our potted plants as it is the perfect height. He also takes it with when we fish at the river so he doesn't need to sit on the ground and struggle to get up.
Get a creeper..it's what mechanics use to get under cars. They have wheels and are low. and usually have pockets for tools.
