johnf Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands I built a set a lot like this one for about $15 and really like it. I did make the steps go all the way accros. These seem pretty cool, but I would think they would be a bit of a hassle because of all the parts. I could be wrong. Here's a link to Cabela's climbing sticks. I think any of them would work fine. I would not recomend the screw in type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands I built my stick ladder, welded square tubing, and used a gorilla hang on. Really like the looks of the price on the stick ladders wal mart had though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands I'm not a big fan of sticks. You can get really hurt if you slip. I make my own ladders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTMO Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands Those Summit Bucksteps are very nice. I have a set and love them. I bought them because I had an extra $100 laying around. They are pricey but, they are very nice. They come with a bag to put the straps in when not using them.

Guest abster71 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands check out summits sticks their 17 ft versus normal 15 ft makes a big differeence they are also closed looped so your feet don't slip and if you miss the other steps can't hook you like the others that really hurts may be a little more money 59 to 69 dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest realtrhunter Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands As far as manufactured ladders I use the Rapid Rails. They will slip down a little when you first put them on, but after the first time you step on them they are solid. For most of our stands we make ladders out of 3 2x4s. Cut one in 1ft pieces and screw them to the other two, on the 2" side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] PAPA99, Rural king is kinda like your TSC. They do have a larger store with household items also though. I grew up in MI and now live in southern IN so i kinda had a chuckle when you said it cause it was what i said when someone asked if i had been to one. THey are pretty cool stores though.

Bownarow Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Re: ladders for fixed platform treestands I use gorilla hang-on's and have been very pleased with them. I use screw in steps b/c o their versatilaty and relatively low cost. I would like to try the climbing sticks but the tallest they make are 20' and that would not be nearly enough. I know I could just add more sections but then you are also adding more cost. Maybe someday I'll find a smokin' deal on some sticks and get a chance to try them out.
