Been building stands for a loooong time and i only use 2×10 or 2×12 for the base , id never trust a 2×4 lol much less one that isn't preassure treated for the weather. I get it ur just showing us how u would do it. Im just throwing out in the comments so some stupid kidn doesn't kill themselves falling 30 ft out of a tall pine 🙃 in short Kids use atleast a 2×10 and buy some big spikes to nail the base dont trust your life or ability to walk on a 16 penny nail. Just my 2 cents
That is an awfully nice tree to be putting nails and spikes into. If someone did that on my property, there'd be hell to pay. Nails, screw-in steps, and spikes kill trees or greatly diminish their lumber value. Don't do it.
I used this set up for a beehive platform 30ft up tree. Great. Next I will add a mini one above to use as a hoist point to lower hive. Cheers
Thanks for the Idea, I was stumped on the best way to build a platform for my Zipline. Going to build this today.
Oh I get it ! bear climbs in stand and falls to his death ....hunter comes along and collects dead bear . Genius
Ignore all the haters,just make sure your long term disability insurance is up to date.Geez.
I think my life is worth more than 16 dollars. Lmao
Can this work for someone no heavier than 325 lbs?
It's a long crawl back to the truck when that $16 stand fails on you. Store bought stands are inexpensive
in my country i cant buy them for under 4000$
4k! Smoking business opportunity then....
in management areas you can't use nails or screws in the trees ! it can't be permanent either
It doesn't even look like pressure treated lumber for fuck sakes! Looks like a death trap!
Woodglut has a very large project base.
Dudes!! Hope you make it to 40!! Smh
This program is brought to you by Hungry Bears In The Woods.
Woodglut plans are amazing!
Check Woodprix mates. I love it to my wooden projects.
I'm sorry but I hope no one follows that build...
Nailed 2x4's , not treated, using plywood, barely any support....good luck

Lacking a basic understanding of structural connections.
Good luck staying out of the hospital.
Thousands of lifetime projects with Stodoys plans.
I wouldn't let my 50 lb kid sit in that junk.

Go to WoodPrix if you'd like to build it yourself.
This is a flimsy looking creation. 😆
