RE: building tree stands?
I WOULD SUGGEST CONCRETEING THE POLES IN THE GROUND UNLESS YOU PLAN ON MOVING IT ONE DAY. IF THE WIND IS BLOWING IT WILL MOVE THE STAND AND OPEN THE HOLES BACK UP AND WILL NOT BE STABLE. THE CONCRETE SHOULD LOCK IT IN AND KEEP IT THERE. GOOD LUCK, AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR THOUGHT, FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME OR PM ME.
