Expand Cool - how well does the lumber hold up considering its not pressure treated? Nice that you mill your own as its getting expensive!

Nice that you mill your own as its getting expensive! Expand For legs larch will last 20 years or more if on blocks( non ground contact) if i use black locust that will last 50years with ground contact. Siding is a factor od overhang spruce will last 10 years or more untreated. Pine will decay faster either will last many years longer simply spraying a mix of diesel and oil on it . Or you can go with a stain or paint.. a 2 ft ovehang will do more than most treatments as it just doesnt get wet. Larch for siding would be 30 years or more i got 20 years out of untreated larch as 5/4 decking. I have more larch but i plan on expanding and redoing my house deck and im saving most of it for that project.

BizCT Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Wow. How long does a spot produce for before you’re willing to do all that work for a stand? Or do you build the stand wherever you want and then adjust habitat around the stand?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old stand next to it was built in 2008.. he decided to replace it with this. At my place they only go in proven funnel or feed areas usually 10 years or more of deer knowledge at spot. I do not put in ground as i can simply brace and lift with forks on tractor. I have only.moved 1 ..2x now. 2x due to a new neighbor building near it and wouldnt be legal to hunt out of. And 2nd time was to get it into a better area that was more commonly hunted. Now i will do habitat work to keep deer in box blind areas but usually just to keep them closer to it as mine tend to be funnel / travel areas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
