No plans, but you can buy metal ladder stands at Wal-Mart for about $100 that are lighter, easier to move, made for better comfort and a lot safer.
Timbercruiser is correct. Our WalMart had some Hunter's View stands that were at or just over a $100 retail,butmy brother and I bought all they had for $65 each after season. We had to buy 35 stands, but after all our buddies found out, we needed 50. They are light and have detachable leg for easier movement. Given the price oftreated lumber and steel, I would sure look at this kind of stand rather than trying to buildyour own.
