Eric, This is something I came up with. The material is 11/2″ steel galvinized shed poles from a quansette hut. I made a ground blind from the same material but was not cost effective. 11′ across, round, 9′ high in center, I couldn’t find enough camo material to cover the thing so I toasted it. Here are some pictures I told you about, still have to put a platform on it but you will get the idea. Very strong, no need for a stand to tree support half way up. Also incorporated a swivel seat I got from Cabelas a while back, just to make myself comfortable. I have yet to make a set of plans but here are the pix. The seat also has a strap (rachet) attached to anchor to tree. 18″ inside
width on ladder at bottom, 16″ wide at top….4 sections @ 5′ tall each. Notice the 45 degree angle at top not 90., did not want to take the chance of kinking the tube so I left them alone and made my adjustments to the seat bar to make it level…..enjoy…Arne

Note: These plans are only a guideline to help you build your own stand. By using these plans, you agree to not hold me liable for any injuries that may occur while building the stand, or related to the stand after it has been built.

Someone has offered to share some plans for a hoist to help life up a stand. I don’t have a way to receive a fax though, so if anyone has a fax machine and would offer to receive the fax, and then scan the plans in and e-mail them to me, I’ll put them up on the site for everyone to see.

Send an e-mail to eric@deerstandplans.net if you can help out with this. Thanks.

I made a new site with Buckmaster’s Deer Blind Plans and a few articles on building deer blinds and other hunting blinds. It’s new right now so there isn’t much there. My eventual goal is to have a hunting site that has all kinda of info related to deer hunting, from deer blinds and feeders, to scopes, to ATV’s, to motion activated cameras, and more… But that’s a ways a way, so for now, I’ll just stick with deer blind plans.

I know this site is about deer stands, but I wanted to link to this rifle scope site if anyone is looking for a good rifle scope or spotting scope, check it out at http://hunters-scopes.com.
