A 19 x 10 inch foot platform, 19 x 15 inch seat, and 300-pound weight capacity round out a practical design for hunting from an elevated vantage point.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for one hunter, so it is not a fit for shared setups or hunting with a partner.
  • The 18' ladder height may be more than you need for lower-visibility setups and can add installation effort.
  • The 300-lb. weight capacity should be checked against the hunter plus carried gear before use.
  • The padded shooting rail and armrests add comfort, but they also create a more defined shooting setup rather than an open platform feel.
