Built a tower blind with elevators

Those would be solid Pokin!
Price is right too

I had thought about buying a couple of these:

I know the legs in the pics aren't included, but yikes the legs aren't built to be load bearing like that. Get a push from wind at the top and they will buckle right over.

I got the windows for my blinds at a local glass shop for $10 each. Used Old style storm windows that I turned on their side. Works great.

They would just need some cross bracing.

With pressure treated lumber only.
Buy once cry once, on the other hand cry all the way to the ground with dry/wet rot using cheap crap.

FWIW, not all pressure-treated lumber is created equal.

I bought some treated fence posts for corners (8" tops?) and stacked 'em outside on 2"x4" runners. Couple years later you could kick the stack without hurtin' your foot.

Literally.

I only use pressure treated when building something for outdoors.

I thought everyone did.

Nope. There are some rickety structures out there. Some not standing.

I'm surprised they even got it put up. And that looks like radio tower mast to me, don't think I'm climbing my fat butt up that.
