  • A cut sheet: every piece drawn to scale with tip-to-tip length and the saw setting for each end
  • A shopping list and a cutting plan that gets every piece from the fewest sticks
  • Build steps: what to tack first, how to check square, and a weld order that keeps it straight
  • A 3D model you can resize — change a size and the cut list follows
Safety note. Safety-critical: people climb this. It is a layout only — not engineered, tested or rated. Use a full-body harness and a tree-stand style safety line every time, and have a qualified person check the build.
