The Guide Gear 15.5′ Single Person Ladder Tree Stand is, in our opinion, the best choice for the money.  This is primarily for three important variables.  First, Guide Gear has built this ladder stand to be so comfortable with the footrest and the mesh sling seat.  Secondly, this that not only has a padded shooting rail but that railing is adjustable and can be set different heights for kids or different size adults.  Lastly, Guide Gear wanted to make sure you felt safe in their stand.  It’s construction and bracing makes if feel solid when you are sitting in it.

The height of the Guide Gear Ladder Stand is 15.5′ to the shooting rail.  The foot platform is 26″ X 15″ and features a fold-out foot rest for unbeatable comfort.  This ladder is rated for up to 300 pounds and the hunting stand weighs 52 pounds.  The seat and the shooting rail flip up to allow easy entrance and exit to the stand.  The seat is a mesh, much like patio furniture, for an unbelievably comfortable experience during your hunt.  The stand is super strong and durable as it is a powder coated steel that is built to last.  We understand that you could go by a cheap ladder stand but really feel that the few extra bucks for this stand is money well spent…  if not just for the comfort alone.

With this and all hunting tree stands, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s safety recommendations and always wear your safety harness!
