So i built this today and really am pleased with how sturdy it turned out. I still have to go through with the drill and screw in some extra screws but other than that, shes ready for sitting on and watching the pond during hunting season some years down the road.
I went out this evening and it was actually real relaxing to just sit up off the ground and look down into the trees. I surprisingly liked this.
Over looks my food area " coming next spring LOL" and my pond. You can just barely see the back of my outside dog by the pond on the right side of the picture. Its dried up due to lack of rain but the stock tank is still full.

Better put some side rails on it in case you fall asleep.a gun rest up front wouldn't hurt either

looks good other than that.
