re: Building Deer Stands with EZ Brackets

I see now that you said yall were building the base and tower first. I missed that.

What windows are yall using? I call myself looking in the thread.

I've got a mix that I've personally tried, but my go-to is using 1/8 plexiglass cut in two, set into 1/4 aluminum plywood edge trim channel so that the two window sections slide in either direction on a "track" of sorts. It's cheap, easy, quiet and offers a lot of adjustability.

However, on a powerline stand I built this year where we have one direction to look, I put in one of those $30 single hung aluminum windows from lowes. I'll post a pic of it installed below.

I think that's the route I'm going to go from here on out on stands that have narrow lanes to watch. They're cheap and fairly quiet and keep bugs out.

One thing I'm doing to all my stands that are not wasp-tight is cutting out a small opening at the base of the house portion and putting in some type of sliding door contraption where I can more easily slide an insect fogger inside the house without opening the door. I hate wasps with a passion.

Heres the little lowes window installed. (I put in an improvised bench rest platform with sandbags so we could shoot benchrest targets or try to lope one in on a deer.)






They're pretty darn good little windows for a deer stand.
