anyone have plans for a dog stand?

I want to make a dog stand for hunting knee to waist deep water. has anyone made one? I dont want spend a couple hundred for the factory made ones, it doesnt seem worth that much to me.

On the cheap, I use a camo folding table from academy.

Is it like this one? Seems like a great idea

^^^^ is that one it kdub? if it is sturdy enough, im gonna go buy it.

That looks like it would work, but if it's a bigger dog 80lbs or more would the table legs hold?

That's it. My dog weighs close to 70 and it holds him fine. It can be unstable if you can't dig it in deep enough, I think some pointed pvc attached to the legs would solve that pretty cheaply.

awesome man. thanks

You can use a chair if needed.

......this and be done. Your welcome.



Sportstand

Those topwater stands are too rich for my blood Wonder.

2x2 piece of 3/4 inch plywood, 2" PVC 90 degree T cut at an angle to put the legs at an outward angle, 8 bolts to bolt the 1/2 T's to the plywood, 4 legs cut at whatever length you want (drill holes every 6" so the legs fill with water so it won't float and a piece of outdoor carpet and you are done.

I built one last year and it worked great.

Glad my you find my design to your liking. Been using it for over 10 years. Anyone that builds one will throw rocks at the spensive pooch stands.

Dog stand plans

Thank you Homey...I saw it on another forum that we don't mention here so I didn't

Yes, it is a great stand and I have let 2 buddies use it for their dogs and they both wanted one.

It ain't light and you don't really wanna pack it a long way but for boat or utv hauling to and from it is perfect.

thanks guys. thats what i was looking for.

.......good plans and a good stand for the do-it-yourselfer

I used a $7 rubbermade bucket from Walmart and a couple of old cans of spray paint. Make sure to drill some holes so the air comes out when you put it in the water.

This is the cheepest I have seen....

The last pic in there shows the legs angling out, I think that is key for stability. I could not be bother making my own, sport stand below..

Thanks to Homey Da Clowns for the plans.... Surprisingly quick and easy!!!!



Added some camo material on top of an old piece of carpet. Done in about an hour.



Dutch seems to like it......
