mowin Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Looks good.. do you plan on "X" bracing between the legs? I want to do the same, but both properties I hunt, the landowners don't want 'em. Edited April 2, 2021 by mowin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zag Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Sweet!! I did a thread about our blind last yr. Here’s a pic from the install, we secured 2 ladders to the top, walked/winced the blind up the ladder. Pretty easy and ours was the 5x6. They are sweet blinds and now have 2 and will be getting another one this yr! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, with the elevator brackets and PT lumber I'm all in for $375, alot cheaper then paying redneck close to $900 for a metal 8' stand.

This one is 8' with the splayed legs probably more like 7' high,, I will have to see how much height I can get with my bucket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBowhunter Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Beautiful day to be out on top of the mountain, took most of the day but we got it done. Stand is in place, now just need to order the redneck. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlammerhirt Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Wowza....that's some dollar bills in 4x4's.Unreal how much that base costs with lumber prices. I was going to build one for the Amish blind I am getting and said forget it and will be paying them for a base.
