Just a suggestion for anyone trying this. Be sure to have REALLY strong stakes to prevent the legs from dragging. One of mine broke at 2 feet off the ground and the blind hit the ground sideways, luckily no major damage. Notice in this video how the one stake almost gave out , if it would have, it would have come crashing down. This method works but not with a come along if your blind is anything like this one. Good luck everyone and BE CAREFUL!! Thanks for posting

I used 2x8 cutoff boards and it wasn't as close as you think to giving out. By rights, they could have been pounded in futher, but it was pretty hard ground at that time.

Goes to show ya that you don't need a degree from MIT for engineering. Just common sense & manpower. Well done guys and good thinking on the 4-wheeler anchor.

No problem. Make sure you're good and braced (maybe extra) if you're going to do this, especially across the front where you pulling. It wants to pull the legs inward.

I see you said it was 14ft 4x4s, but what is the distance between the 4x4s on the ground level. I am planning on building an 8x8 with the EZ brackets, but with the angled offset (I think it is 7 degrees) I am not sure what the foot print would be at that height.
@johns8240

Did you figure it out? Some easy trigonometry can get you the footprint at any height knowing the angled offset.

A few more questions. I'm doing mine this weekend. Did you set the 4x4 post on concrete pads? Have you had any rot issues? How long has it been out there?
@johns8240
8 жыл бұрын
Originally I had all 4 legs resting on green treated boards. Since moving to another location, I have 2 legs on concrete pads just because I needed more elevation than boards would support. The other 2 legs are buried in the dirt. Altogether it's been out for 3.5 years.

What were you using to pull it up? I need to do the same thing and was thinking about using an ATV winch.

I used my Suburban in 4WD Low. Don't think my ATV would have budged it. If you have a longer gin pole you might be able to do it with a winch, but it depends on how heavy your box is. Good luck!

Would you post a video of you lowering your blind the next time you move it?
@johns8240

I never lowered it. Essentially, I lifted in two directions and lagged a 2x8 to two legs (like skis) then drug it by attaching a chain to the bottom of two opposite sides/skids, short as possible to lift while it pulled.

What weight were your brackets rated for? Mine say 1000pounds but I figure my stand is close to that without anyone in it.
@johns8240

To be honest, I don't know the rating of the brackets and I wasn't too concerned about it. The EZT's were pretty stout. And the brackets aren't doing much after it's in the air. X-bracing was the most important thing when pulling the way I was. I had the legs and base lagged to the brackets in all the holes available.
