Here are some of my DIY Steps. I find them more comfortable than other steps as the tubing is a bit wider, but they weigh almost the same as far as I can tell and cam over rock solid. I find climbing with sticks and an aider the fastest and easiest way up the tree, but really like to have one or two of these along to set up either side of my platform.IMG_8663 copy.jpgIMG_7410 copy.jpg
 
Here are a couple pics of me standing on it and then it cammed over. 1/2 Inch Tubing (not 3/4 sorry for earlier typo)

Would you be willing to share some dimensions. I work in a structural steel shop and could knock some of these out for nothing on my break and lunch.

Sure thing. We had to play with it a bit and don't have the exact angles, but here is what we ended up with. Of course use at your own risk and make sure to test before going to high up on a tree with them. The 2nd piece on the top was required to keep the feet from bending in from side pressure.

"Bottom V's" - 7 1/2" each
"Feet" - 5 1/2" each
"Main Step" - 6"
"Support Brace" 5"
and 6" from tip of "V" to end of feet.

Yeah, What is the deal with all the crocs and flip flop pics on this site. Here we have some manly dudes showing off their DIY building abilities and then it seems we always see a guy hanging from a tree in crocs of flip flops. What gives :tonguewink:
