Bought these at the end of last season, 17' reg price 189.00 we paid 60 at the end of season clearance. They are very sturdy, but we added a second ratcheting strap at the foot platform after the pics and now they are rock solid. Pay attention to Dicks, in January they always sell stuff at super low prices so they don't have to store it all summer.

i bought a 15' comfortzone ladder for $50 and i just hung it today. it will do the job and its pretty sturdy

I am assuming Docks is really Dicks. I also picked up a 17 ft ladder cheap post season really cheap from them. I also added a second strap to the platform.

Also picked up a few game cameras for 20 bucks each.

Good Luck

I guess I need to type slower.

I already have 4 of these bought 2 last year for full price and 2 more this year for 80 bucks , great stands for a low price though.

Bought mine at Gander Mountain in Middletown 5 yrs ago. Paid 99 for a 15' and worked good enough for me, but somebody stole it a couple of months ago. Didn't have time to get a new one, so I'll use a tent setup instead.
