RE: homemade artificial treestand cover?
You can still get busted with cover behind you. But to answer your question, I'd keep it as natural as possible. I wouldn't put anything there that wasn't there to begin with (besides the stand and a couple of shooting lanes. Don't worry about cover directly behind you while your in your stand. The cover needs to be on surrounding trees where the cover is ABOVE you. Think about it, a deer's gonna be looking up if you get busted, not directly towards you.

[ul][*]Don't put anything there that isn't natural (besides the stand and a few shooting lanes)[*]In order for you to get busted, a deer has to look up, so don't look for a stand that has cover directly behind it. You want cover above and behind you, because a deer's gonna be looking up.

Here's a picture to maybe help, since I can't really figure out how to word this.
The red is the deer's line of sight, NOT THE BLUE. So the yellow circle is where I would want the bulk of my cover, not the green one.

I know I didn't word it too good. I was in a hurry to do something. Let me try again:
