I make ladder stands that are very cheap and easy to build. Get (3) 16' 2x4's, cut one of the 2x4's up for steps and screw them onto the other two which will give you the ladder. Then cut two lateral braces, onefor each side,and two pieces that attach from the top of theladder to the braces. Onceyou have this done get a 6' treated deck board and cut it into 2' lengths for the seat and attach them to thepiece that connects the ladder to the brace.I hope this makes sense as they are very easy to build.
