I’m looking into getting 1, possibly 2 tree stands. Both to fit 2 people, hopefully.
What do you guys recommend?

Buddy who's land it is has a little tractor and skid steer with forks in it. We cut trail just wide enough to get them in there.Not sure how you are getting your walls and roof on.
When I built mine I used a 2x8 PWF ridge board sticking out 2' on each end to hook slings to and lifted in place with a steel grainery picker.
The peak of roof was 21', yours might be even higher.
Looks awsome!!!
Post more pics when done.
Nice!! How do you like the ladder? That will be my next step (haha) in the processThis is one of my double wides.
Bench folds in half so when you show up you never sit in the snow.
17' to the deck, poles cemented 4' in ground and have the X-bace as well as brace back -no shakey n the wind.
Took ladder and hung a chainfall on tree branch behind my head, got stand balance point and hoisted most of this in one piece.
Assembled on ground way easier.

The ladders are only for the treestands.
The rungs are 3/8" wide on top and cut back down 45 degrees o each side, this way snow does not build up on top of the rung and you do not "crunch snow" every step getting into stand in the morning.
Fr the Shootin Shack i have open stinger stairs and I built a front balcony.
I did the stairs and handrail as kids used to go there on their own from house, half mile across pasture.
To dangerous to access a door off of a ladder for kids/drunk adults after weiner roasts summer-has a fire pit.
Balcony has handrail set in stake pockets so they come out during hunting season - no bullet hoes in them yet.
I will take lots of pics to give you some ideas.
It also has slider RV window in each wall and a 16X24 fold out panel.
This was a 3 week on holiday straight build.
Sounds like quite the place.The ladders are only for the treestands.

I'm starting to think you've built yourself a hunting resort Randy.
