Quick and easy ground blind seat

[Bodey]

I weld up a little 3 legged tripod base with 3/4 pipe and flat 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 feet on bottom. Bolt boat seat to that. 3 legs will adapt to any terrain and always be rock solid.

Bummer

The base that snakelover used for his works much better than a 5 gallon bucket. I weigh 200lbs and I have had an issue with my 5 gallon bucket starting to bend/collapse. I have another with the base like Snakelover used, and it is working perfectly.

200 and problems with the bucket huh.... bummer, back to the drawing board for a buffalo hump like me.

I got mine rubermaid step stool at ACE... I think $10 must be the same.

I am not to far under the max and it holds up.

Good tip i an going to make one

[Birddog66]

Thanks TBH for the plans and idea!

Here is my latest garage creation. It works awesome, perfect height for me and my pop-up.

$35 real tree camo boat seat (could have saved some $ and gone with $20 no cushion) - academy
$15 step stool - walmart
$8 swivel - academy
$4 hardware - home depot
$0 scrap plywood for bottom bracket

$62 - total

It wasnt cheap but it beats anything on the market.

Here is a piece of scrap I bought from academy which prompted me to build my own($40). I returned it for the seat/swivel on my d-i-y projest.

Pass on this chair - hardware(nut/bolts) do not match. Poorly built.

Isn't that short for the popup?

It fits good in mine. Its taller then what Ive been using.

fyi -I'm about 5'8".

great idea

I need to build 9 for the triple person box blinds pops made for the kids. Having two on hand, we made the blinds to work at this height. It's been 5 years, so am looking for the best price points on all the parts. I am struggling right now finding the larger steps, as I haven't been able to find them at Home Depor or Lowes, which is where I found them to begin with.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Love this thread! I remember when the foot stool/chair/bow holder combo was featured in TBH Journal's DIY section. RIP TBH Journal!

Awesome.
Great idea. Puttin one together myself.

for you guys looking for a taller stool, I was at Lowes yesterday and they had a rubbermaid type of outdoor side table that is about the same size as the step stools but taller. I sat on one and it was fine. I would not suggest leaning back as the legs could buck without making some bracing. I think it was around $10 and made in USA.
