You could kick some 2X4 braces off and do it on the bottom also, or drive re-bar in the ground and lash the legs to it. "Why do you ask"? Always vote the slowest path to socialism.

Even better it was level. The road is about 20 feet behind it, and you can slip up into it without being seen. The ladder isn't going anywhere. The 2x4 cross brace wedges the top of the ladder back into the frame of the shooting house. It doesn't move much without the strap, but adding it locked in down.

So we put it up there and secured it. Believe it or not, its remarkably stable and easy to get in and out of. Besides, we needed to be able to see what we needed to prune.

I have a set of elevator brackets like those waiting to be put to use. It's to late to build one for use this season (no time on my part), but I'm gonna start buying lumber a little at a time and get one built for next season.
