If hunting with a rifle, ensure you put sound absorbing material on the wall and roof. Your ears will thank you after you shoot.

Pinterest has lots of ideas and plans for elevated blonds

A buddy of mine had a huge conduit bender that we used. I put a slight bend in the tops of the conduit to vertically match the 2X6 bottoms for the stand platform. I built the bases on the ground twice as big as the stand itself. I drilled through the conduit to bolt them into both corners of the stand, all 4. I don't think I have any close up pictures but you can see one of them from space! A built a metal conduit ladder to get up into the stand. I also built 10' ladder stands out of conduit for smaller, more portable stands. All the stands built out of conduit are still standing and usable. The wood based stands lasted maybe 10-12 years, the conduit stands are still going strong.
Spin, I just seen your post and had to laugh. I'm from WI and have built or helped build probably 25 of these. A couple cousins of mine up in the north have cots and wood stoves in them. That's a bit extreme. I swear a few of these you could live in for a while.

They play cards while someone takes a turn looking for deer lol. Last I talked they told me they had satellite tv but I'm choosing to believe that was a joke. At least I hope it was.
