Stand dimensions currently are 7' 8" tall (just wanted enough to walk under and hang equipment from underneath) 6' 6" wide by 5' 5" deep.
I have the WigWam hunting blind that measures 5'x5' to put on top.

My experience with duct tape is that it does not hold up well in weather. I've left duct tape outside on another project and the elements essentially separated the outer coating from the woven part - looks terrible.

I'll probably just hand paint it with a thick coat of black or brown with lots of sand added for traction. If I had more time until season I would definately hand paint the stand a better camo but I'd like to get the deer as used to it as possible so its gotta get out soon.
