Building a strong Ladder for a deer stand | Box blind
Вставка

- This is a fast easy build. It is a 12 foot ladder for a box blind, deer stand, or any need of a cheap ladder. It is made from 2-2x4x12 and 2-2x4x8 treated lumber. The ladder rungs were cut to 21 1/4 in length and we used 8 steps spaced at 18 inches apart. If you want to see how strong this ladder is go to my channel and watch (building a box blind part 2) we had to use this ladder to assist in raising the deer blind platform! Thanks for watching.
Great project. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
my grandfather built a ladder just like this for outside barn loft access. The only difference is he used nails. That ladder is 100 years old and still strong. I will add that about 30 years ago, we put concrete pavers underneath each leg.
nice build
Good build!! 👍
Just put up an elevated blind. 10’. How long will the ladder need to be ? Not wanting the ladder to be vertical. I was thinking a 12’ ladder would work. Your thoughts?
It’s been a while but I believe I did a 12ft ladder. I also put the base on 2 cinder blocks to keep it off the ground to help against rot and also give it an incline so it’s not straight up. I have the finished blind on my channel that shows the ladder. Check it out and see what you think.
0330 and I just subscribed to your channel.. Think I'm gonna try to build a stand like you did I want a larger blind to be comfortable in.. Thanks
Captain Joe's Angling Adventure's Thanks!!
Could I make this 30 feet high?
😲😲😲👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️
Will this work for 20 feet?
As long as you can get the lumber that long. Or you could piece 2 sections together, but I would use carriage bolts to hold them together and glue so it won’t separate.
@@PoposWoodworks okay thanks
Make it wooden with the help of the Woodglut instructions.
By cutting you lost the strength of your 4x4 and that was way too much work. Just mount the boards on the outside and screw boards in between the steps if you are worried about one giving out. What you did looks nice though...just considerable work.
Personally, ... I would have only inletted 3/4" instead of 1-1/2" and allowed the wrungs to stand 3/4" proud; then beveled the ends of each.
1-1/2" x 2' isn't enough !
Basically you're utilizing two 2x2's ....
..... 2x6' would have been better !
That’s a lot of unnecessary work to build a ladder.
talks too fast
way to much work, who wants to take 5 hours to build a ladder
They need to be strong enough where the snow & high wind destroys everything. I’m using one like this & it’s been out for over 10 years. All we have to do is, check screws n tighten them before usage. Our lives are dependant on it when climbing in darkness
I did it myself with the woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
