    size for popup platform??

    I'm looking at building a platform to put a popup on for next season. I'd like it big enough to hunt at least two hunters out of, maybe as many as three.

    What works best? sizes? dimensions? building materials?

    What says the green screen?

    I built this one back In September. It's 8' x 8' on the platform and 8' tall. Used 4x4 posts.

      I would say it depends on the pop up being used, and where you are putting it. The size of the platform just needs to fit the popup. That's also going to make the difference on how many people you can hunt.

          8' x 8' and about 18" off the ground. Just wanted to get off the ground and not worry about snakes.

            8x8 that's the dimensions I use for mine. About 12-18" legs underneath. Cover my floors with carpet, makes for a comfy, quiet sit and plenty room for the kiddo.

              8 x 8 makes it easy to get in and is easy to make because you have very minimal sawing.

                http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/game...ck&N=602989787 Just a thought, with some modifications, and using a mid size PoP Up, you may be able to make this work. Also seeing them at the stores, they look alot bigger.

                    Thanks for the ideas and the pics are a big help. I'll have to do a little more shopping and measuring.

                    Good luck the rest of the season.

                        I built this a couple years ago. The base is 6'x6' and it's all made to take apart to travel. Click image for larger version
