Does anyone have a good design(drawing, maybe in a word document) that I can use for a ladder lean too tree stand (two-person)? I am in the process of trying to design one myself but I always like to turn the members for there advise.


Thanks

Might I suggest just buying a good aluminum, welded ladder stand? They are lighter, easier to move, no nails in the trees, will last longer, are safer and you won' t have a lot more money in the stand. We have about 50 and some are 10+ years old and are in as good of shape as when we bought them.

Hey guys thanks for the replies.

Timbercruiser... Yea I am looking into the purchase of a Tree Stand as a model for me to follow. I wasn' t planning on using anytype of wood products. I was planning on using some square tubing. Very light weight and very strong. I really just like to try and build as much as I can, the things I hunt with. I just adds to my hunting experience.

Washington Hunter. Thanks for checking with your buddy. I look forward to hear if you find out anything.

If you can weld,here are some plans.It should be that hard to add an extra seat

Thanks for the info. This was exactly what I was looking for. I have drawn up plans very similiar to these. Since I have never done this before it makes me feel as if I am going dowm the right path.

Thanks

Just a suggestion.....use square tubing for the platform as well. I' m a welder by trade and have built god knows how many treestands and the tubing seems to hold up better than the expanded metal. I also find you get a little better footing if you run a grinder over it to rough it up. A buddy of mine took the things you put in the shower to keep form slipping and glued melted them onto a couple of his stands and it worked great....especially if there' s gonna be ice.
