Hey guys! Appreciate the tips and diagram.

vipertech - Obviously you missed the last part of my message I had above. Long reply short... I have a treestand or two.(tongue in cheek) And I doubt 3 2"x6"s and 5-7 2"x4"s, some lag bolts and wood screws come up to even 1/2 the cost of 1 ladder stands. We'll see! Thanks for the advice regardless.

I think this project is a go guys! Thanks for the help and if anyone else wants to add a tip or two besides telling me the cost of materials will be enough to buy 2 ladder stands, I'm open for ideas. LOL!
