I'll be doing this after my blind is finished. Pieces are all cut and painted. Gonna assemble it than disassemble to take it too location. Your video helped me on how to raise it with my side x side. THANK YOU!
Yo Numbnut, the devices that you are referring to on the inside of the eyebolts are call nuts. You may have some washers under the nuts as well. Bolts have threads on the outside surface, nuts have threads on the inner surface. You'r e welcome for the free lesson!
Good demo. I'd use a light tow strap as an extension on your winch to put you out of the danger zone if the platform does decide to roll. Additionally you can tie the other side off to a tree with a bit of slack as a roll preventer. The soil under the legs, before you place blocks under them, can be softer than you realize with the forces concentrated on a 4x4 post. Especially with a heavier platform.
Jason, re: deck - do you use a nail space or do you place the deck boards tight next to each other? Did you put any indoor/outdoor carpeting on top of the deck for noise control?
Cody, I went about 2-2.5’ feet down then I packed with softball size stones, filled in with dirt and packed hard with a wood splitting mull as I had a 8” hole.
Cody Sturm, Hi! thank you for watching, to be honest I have sandy type soil so I used my ice auger (8”) I took the blades off of it first, man did it work like a charm and in matter of a cpl min I was done!
Thats awesome. I wish I could use one of those but I hunt public land so I have to use a removable tree stand. I like how you can get 360 degrees out of that. Do you frame it up for a blind?
David Given - good morning! You can easily frame it up for a blind, however I did construct a very nice deer stand out of it. I will be posting them shortly as a follow up on this post. The frame you see in the video was very easy to build and solid!
Jason I was wondering if I could use soft ball sized rocks and stone dust to fill the holes up? I have 2 yards of the stone dust and want to get rid of it.
Shawn, yes, for sure! I did, I filled the holes with rocks then pounded them down with a sledge hammer to make it tight. then filled with dirt to help keep water from going in the hole as much.
if you had a 2x6 holding the cable up by your bracing it would start the pull in an upward direction reducing the stress on the I-bolt and platform and framing.
Shannon Lane, Im sorry the audio stopped on you. Did you reset the video, turned it off then back on? I haven’t had anyone else have issues with the audio stopping. Sorry to hear this happened.
Terry Beasley - Im sorry the audio was low, had my son filming with the ipad and was unable to up the sound during the recording of it. I appreciate the comment as it will help me with other videos I will post.

This is amazing! Loving it.
Excellent job yall!
Good Job, All the way around it will be a sturdy stand!
Nice 👍
well done !! going to do one of them too . thanx 4 the info
Greg Hohlfeld - No problem, good luck, well worth it!

I like how you me tuon right away to discard frayed wire. This is probably the biggest reason people get injured while winching anything..
Hope those bolts hold up on the post without a notch holding the weight of the deck. I guess the decking board will help.
Rats Junior, now we have to cut the 2x4 that's wedged!
Volume was kinda low, but I got the point.. thank u for the video.. how deep did u dig ur post holes?

Thank god, I thought I was going deaf.
I think u need more bracing for that deck

Raise carefully!!
Hey dad
if you had a 2x6 holding the cable up by your bracing it would start the pull in an upward direction reducing the stress on the I-bolt and platform and framing.
Everybody's an expert
Why not just build it standing up? I’ve never understood this.
That's what we do.
He must want Polaris to sponsor him lol
Just build it in place and save yourselves the headache
stopped at 48 seconds. I can't read lips

Why don't people learn to use microphones when they try to make youtube videos?
What? You say something? Speak up cant hear you.
