tried the new high seat last night for the first time, sheer luxury Big enough for two old plastic patio chairs, bags, flasks etc. Nice and warm with no wind, totally waterproof (stormproof) with window covers to keep it dry inside when not in use. It's about 12 ft to the floor so good view all round, especially of the fox trail past the badger setts

Luxury! When I was a lad we had to shoot from hole in middle of road!

cracking job Rodders

how've you got it fixed to the tree?..... Ratchett straps?... coach screws?

cheers jock

That is really smart mate the best I've ever seen,aren't you a bit worried about squatters though

Tried that but the car drivers moaned

Ratchet straps (5T) around main floor bracket and centre support, 2 x 6" nails in each side support. Tubular steel frame and pvc cover. Best thing is all the steel was offcuts and the pvc cover was returned (surplus to requirements) covers that had been paid for. Total cost was next to nothing

No matter how much you know it's all been welded together properly, and it's well secured to the tree, the first step out on to it is with a little trepidation
It's put up really in readiness for bad weather, somewhere protected from the elements that means I can still shoot

You say that Geoff, and to be honest it did cross my mind that if anyone spotted it they would be in there faster than a rat up a drain pipe.

If they do I'll just hit the ratchet straps with an axe

To be fair, that is nicer than my first flat was

Now there's an idea, 5lb of Tannerite strapped under it .............. just in case

thats a cracking looking highseat rod , those supports and straps will take some serious weight .

it reminds me of my scaffold tower highseat .

ive got a few of those bolts that are used to bolt steps onto telegraph poles if you need any mate.

you could really do with finding someone that has a bit of cammo netting for sale though mate
