That 12' ladder stand you got from Wal-Mart is the identical one I just got from Farm and Home (similiar to Rual King). I am building a 4' section so the stand will go up to 16'. It is a nice stand. I am also putting some padding on the front rail for shotgun season. I thought about putting some netting to hang on the front bar to cover my lets. But I am not sure if that would block my view??

enjoy
