Thanks all! The last pic is facing the front..its hard to tell the angles..but the roof does tilt back...my only concern is the rain/snow sliding off and hitting/freezing on the stairs I am going to put up...Its mainly going to be for crossbow and rifle...I have this one up hill from where the wood stand is....Im gonna try and get one with my compound bow out of here...if that doesn't work I will get my muzzle loader well I have good trails coming through the bottom of my land where this stand is...may as well try to make good use or kill a deer out of it...its all in hopes to get my "EMO-teen step-daughter" into hunting...all I can say is I'm trying to get her into something that doesn't involve stupid facebook or self-pity...lol
