Thanks, but I have pretty limitless amount of materials. It is time I'm short on, plus I kind of like it the way it is. My dingdong buddy I hunt with built his stand across a a little creek channel that feeds into the tank. Not sure why, he could have put in on the road side and not have to worry about it. 1st year no big deal, last couple it has been full of water. Him and his wife just had their 3rd kid so I have been keeping his feeder full and an eye on his stand. Built a bridge across the creek yesterday. Same thing, 16' skid I had come through here and was headed to the dump. I sunk the posts about 2', then ran a tpost next them and tied it up. Think I'll take a couple bags of concrete next time and make it a little more solid. Probably need to anchor the ends also.

I just purchased some lumber from Home Depot to build a stand very similar to yours. I purchased 4 - 2x4's 10' long and the box is 4 x 4. Most of it is treated lumber. Cost: $52.00 This blind will lay down in the bed of my truck (8' bed) and can be transported to any location for a "quick" set up. I already have plywood for the floor and have 3 packs of the camo burlap to wrap around the sides. I will post pictures when I have it completely built. Thank you for the idea chalet!

No problem. These are 4x6 at the top, I can lay them over into the truck and move them by myself. Not sure if the legs would hold up to it now as long as they have been outside.

I have hunted, and killed deer, from much worse. Don't fear a little jankage!

I think it’s great. Kids can’t be too comfortable when hunting. I spent my youth sitting in the fork of a tree on a 2x6. I loved it.
