need input on pop-up platforms

[skelsey]

Built this one few weeks ago. 8 foot tall and 8x8 platform.

[Backwoods101]

6x8 1.5 sheets of 3.4 inch treated plywood.

2x8 frame 16 in on center

Fixing to do something like this as well. I had standing water in my pop up most of the year last season.

Works well......

I built a pop-up platform to shoot into my feed pen, so the floor needed to be 4' off the ground.
Opted for 10' 4x4 posts, which extended 6' above the platform and allowed me to frame out a roof, which kept me shaded early season and kept pop-up from collapsing in harsh weather.
Also, I draped camo netting over the entire thing, the blind stayed out year round.
After originally building a small ladder, I upgraded by adding stairs.
Stairs made entry much easier.

Shot my first two Pope and Young's out of it, they are deadly.

Sorry for the crappy picture, I made this thing about 8 years ago.

Good luck.

. 8x8 platform 2 feet high

My next project.

Me too. I just need a stubby though. 2-4' high.

I'm going to build one of these soon - probably going to be no more than 4' high. How tall before it is necessary to angle the legs? I would think straight legs on a 4' would be fine, would't it?
