We should note that there are 2 separate seats with an armrest in between, so you cannot use this stand like a bench seat, but it is ideal for you and your hunting partner.Įach seat is 24 inches wide by 17 inches deep with a 27 inch seat height and a very comfortable backrest. It is slightly curved in the front which is more comfortable on the legs, and the footrest is the perfect height for sitting back and relaxing in the stand. The Muddy Flex-tek seat is the most comfortable of all the stands tested. When we asked them why, the answers were all the same.

That was the overwhelming response from our staff of hunters. The Muddy Stronghold is the most comfortable 2 man ladder stand we have tested. They are large steps with stamped holes that grab wet, muddy boots for superior traction.ĭuring our testing and rating of two person ladder stands, we asked each of our staff What is the most comfortable two man ladder stand that you have tested? One of our favorite things about this tree stand is the SAFE-TREAD™ steps. The Denali is 18 feet high to the adjustable shooting rail and weighs in at 96 pounds with a 500 pound weight capacity. Unlike other ladder tree stands, the ladder sections are bolted together instead of pinned, which makes it a much quieter ladder stand when climbing. The ladder is made of heavy duty oval tubing for strength and extra stability, providing a secure grip when climbing. The foot platform is huge, measuring 51 inches wide by 17 inches deep and constructed of oversized grip mesh for superior traction, making it one of the larger platforms on our list. There is a padded armrest in the middle of the two padded seats as well as one on each end. The first time you sit in these comfortable seats, you will realize why these hunters are so passionate about this tree stand. The seats are 24 inches wide with a 23 inch backrest that is contoured for all day comfort. The two MeshComfort™ padded seats are the same type of seat that was only found on patio furniture until Hawk brought it to tree stands. Let's take a look at why these guys like it so much. The shooting rest isn’t too sturdy, so if you are shooting long range, you should invest in decent shooting sticks.We have a couple of guys on staff that absolutely swear by the Hawk Denali 2 person tree stand.Įven though it didn't get a lot of votes for the best 2 person ladder stand, we thought we would include it here because the guys that do like it are very passionate about it. It’s also rather heavy, so you will need lots of effort to finish the setup. The vertical bow hunters cannot get a shot out quickly, which is a downside to this otherwise great pod. Note that the legs are not adjustable, so place it on level ground. I liked how sturdy and durable the construction of the pod is, thanks to the powder-coat steel, which can last for many seasons. The ladder is placed on the corner of the stand instead of the center. The pod is heavy - almost 200 pounds, but that makes it very stable on windy days. However, note that it’s a 3-men job to get the quad pod into a truck to pick it up. The instructions are well-written in a step-by-step manner with pictures, so it’s relatively easy to assemble everything.Īll parts and bolts are numbered in bags, so it will take less than 3 hours to set it up.

However, the platform is high enough to give you a great 360 view of your game. The height is not too great - only 8.5 feet. I advise you to consider buying a better ground blind chair and get rid of the included one. On top of it, the chair makes a squeaky noise, which can spook your deer. It’s unfortunately not very comfortable, especially all day, despite plenty of padding. The chair is relatively small - 18 by 12 inches. So, it’s not as high as a ladder stand, but you can easily spot your game with 360 views. The tripod is 12 feet high to the shooting rail. The platform is easy to climb thanks to the ladder, so even old hunters will have no issues getting to the top. This will stop the updraft and make it quieter when moving the tripod around. My tip is to add a piece of plywood to secure the pod to the ground. It’s made of steel, making it secure and stable - there's even a cable running through the middle of the stand to reduce wobbliness. It’s spacious enough to accommodate 2 hunters and gear with a maximum weight of 500 pounds. This is a rather large platform, thanks to 57.5 by 57.5 inches.
