RE: Tree Stand Plans
Wooden permanent stands can be meade in most any shape and size. I make 5-6 every year on our land(we have 21 sections), and have the price for a 16' ladder stand down to about $60 dollars. Just remember for those using the new arsenic free treated lumber....ther is a major problem with the chemicals in the treated lumber eating away the material used to nail it all together. You will find that a regular nail will be eaten away in a year or 2. Even some of the companies can't "guarentee" your hardware will make it. So I recommend atleast using heavily hot dipped spikes,nails, or whatever, when building thes with the new treated stuff. having learned the hard way(fall from 16'), I now use hotdipped stainless nails on all my ladder stands. taz
