The only lumber are 4x4 posts and two 2x4s for the ladder. Even the rungs are composite. If you don't mind my asking how much did it cost to build these and where can I get the materials? They cost me $450 each but I heard he now gets $650. The guy who builds them is plant mgr at NyloBoard in Covington, GA. They make composite lumber from recycled carpet and fiberglass. It's tough stuff. The guy gets all the scrap free so he has almost no overhead in the build. Shoot me a PM and I will give you his phone number.

Second of all, unless you plan to bowhunt the stand, only make the windows 8" tall. I've seen some, people could jump out of. Third, know where the stand is going before you build it, because looking uphill, or down hill, will affect window height.

We lag bolted the base to 6x6 legs. Then set the walls and lagged the roof on. You can take it down and set it up in about an hour. We set it up late this year but im puting carpet and insulation in this summer. We built 8x12 windows.
