Wolfie you asked about lumber. Ask your local lumberyard to set aside banged up sheets of T1-11 and plywood. You’ll get it for a discount and it works good for deer stands duck blinds etc.

And yeah I put pavers under the legs to prolong the life , keeps some moisture out of them. Also an easy way to get them level.

And yeah Crappiekiller these are more gun stands not bow. I use my climber and portables for archery. However, them bucks in the rut don’t mind a box stand. Been some big deer killed out of boxes.

I built this one a few months ago. It's 6.5 x 8 with deck for my 4 wheeler. I used Deerview windows.

I shot this Buck out of my blind last night.
