RE: STAND NOISE IN WIND
TO CLARIFY, THE PLATFORM IS HELD ONTO THE TREE BY ONE SINGLE ALLTHREAD ROD THAT GOES RIGHT THROUGH THE TREE AND IS BOLTED ON EITHER END. THE ENDS OF THE THREADS ARE DAMAGED TO PREVENT THE NUTS FROM WORKING LOOSE. THE LADDER IS TWO TREE TRUNKS WITH 2X4 NAILED ON FOR RUNS. THE LADDER IS THEN LEANED ONTO THE PLATFORM FOR AN EASY CLIMB ON FROZEN DAYS. THESE ARE BUILT ON PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR LONG TREM USE. NAILS AND BOLTS HIDDEN IN TREES IS NOT AN ISSUE.
