How long and how hard is this to erect? I have never installed a tree stand so am wondering if I would need climbing gear or what the procedure is?

took approx. 20 mins to assemble. We leaned it against tree and used a step ladder to secure the straps around stand and tree. Quite easy and quick.

Hi Clive,I apologize for missing your message for a year.I apologize for missing your message for almost a year. I used some large orange tent stakes from Lowe's to anchor it. I also used a sharpie to mark where the pipes for the frame fit together to help put it together from year to year. I hope you are enjoying your garden.Pete

Yes, it's fairly easy. Give yourself an hour the first time you set it up, putting the pole together is a little tricky, but once you've done it once, it's easy, I'd suggest practicing at home first. I set it up alone, but I'm tall, so I'd recommend at least one other person to help out.

I do have trees and would think will be the best but I know you can have cemented posts or metal poles in order to have a good support due to requires a lot... Hope this helps

I guess it depends on your idea of hard. It's about 25 or 30 pieces of wood that are screwed together. It didn't take long to set up (about 4 hours).

Not hard at all. The top is a woven loop so if you have a piece of webbing or a rope that will sustain your weight it shouldn't be a problem to hang this from a tree. In our backyard we have this chair hanging using a piece of webbing because the hook we ordered with the chair arrived later. Just be mindful of any rubbing that might take place on the loop where you are attaching the rope or webbing.

Nothing really needed at all. I used only my hands. No tools are required. You might need help getting the plastic cover on and a step stool too. I set it up on my patio last year and had no issues with it at all. Even in strong winds of 35 to 45 MPH did not cause any problems. If you live in an area with stronger winds then you might want to use weights to hold it down. The bottom of the legs come with flanges that will allow you multiple ways to secure the house down. You could just set some heavy pot plants on top of these flanges to hold it down. Hope this helps. We do like ours very much and we don't have to carry our 50 plus pot plants in during a freeze.

Yo may need to purchase a longer chain to wrap around your tree or drill/screw in your hooks into the tree. The problem you are facing is the right amount of distance between the trees for it to hang properly.

Comes with a cheap cord (buy some paracord) It's one long triangular tube. So run the cord through it, then tie to trees. (no spikes aka tent pegs included or needed.)

Not sure what you are asking but yes you can use this with a climbing tree stand, it's what I use. You just slid it up the tree above the upper part of the stand as you go up. Then, you leave it on the tree when you go down and it is ready when you use it the next time. When you are done with that tree you just slid it down as you descend for the last time. I love it and feel much safer using it.

Hello, We have talked to the manufacturer and they indicate YES, you can use it for a climbing tree stand. We hope this was helpful WorldGoodsCorp

The distance will be dictated by the angle of the treestand to the tree. You want the shooting platform and seat to be level. Once you get the platform and seat level, that is the distance that the stand needs to be from the tree. Please exercise caution because my middle section colapsed while I was putting the stand up and I am still waiting on a replacement. They advertise 500 lb/2 man stand, but i only weigh 185 and the ladder folded in half while i was attempting to secure it to the tree. Be careful and make sure to use a harness.

We did not hang it on a tree, but rather on two hooks. Each rope end is a loop at the top, and the bottom ends are not cut so the rope forms a u-shape at the bottom. We used it as a rope ladder up into a playhouse that sits about 5 feet off the ground. We had to secure the bottom of the ladder to the tree because we haven't had time to anchor using concrete/hooks. Otherwise, it works fine. Will likely last longer indoors as we are seeing tiny cracks in the wood dowels now after about 6 months.

I never hung mine yet. I need another alternative because my tree isn't string enough.

This tree stand is a climbing stand. You stand while climbing. I recommend not using the bungee cord to lock heels in place as it prevents a good setting of the lower teeth. Once in place, the seat folders out. This tree stand is light weight, but sturdy. It is easy to pack into remote areas and easy to set up. I used it last season and recommend it since it is an excellent tree stand.

It is easy, but probably no instructions. But the best part about this is, they don't tell you what "Size" hammock too buy. I wrote them and got no answer. How hard is it t put down on the advertisement the size of the hammock this stand will hold. Also, if you get instructions, print on them the hammock size this stand holds. It is a nice stand, but the company needs help in learning how to sell and answer questions.

I use two 10' long 3/4" pieces of metal conduit from Home depot (Less than ten dollars) for poles. I use two U-Bolts (a buck each) on each pole (you could also use eye bolts if you want to drill) to attach the net and guy ropes (I use paracord for the guy ropes). To make it easy to put up, I got two three foot sections of 1" diameter PVC. I drive them in the ground about a foot and set the conduit (poles in them). Them I just stake the guy ropes and tighten the net. Total cost for the set up without a net is less than $20 and easy for one person to set up and take down.
