[QUOTE="KDM, post: 147851, member: 314"] My stands are permanent, but I kind of wish I'd have known then what I know now as I'd have built them as I described. Stability will depend on where you plan to put the stand IMO. Wind is a bitch and 2X2's may not hold up to that beating, but there are quite a few variables that can change the equation such as stud spacing, walls, insulation, roof, etc. etc. Having a platform to put the stand on might be feasible, assuming you can get it on the platform safely, attach it securely, AND you can get at it after deer season. This year is a good example of what you might have to deal with when trying to get it back down. You might be better off building a platform and putting up a pop up blind if you want elevation, but elevation regardless of design, is going to cost a bunch more in time and materials. [/QUOTE]
