We are offering these plans for no charge as an example of
what you can expect when you purchase other plans offered
on this site.
This is an easy little starter project that should only take a
few hours. When finished you should have a very strong,
practical hunting, fishing etc, chair that folds up for easy
transport.
If you have questions or concerns when building this chair,
please send us a note at [email protected]
and expect a reply within 24 hours.
Good luck and please visit us again at
www.treestandplans.ca or www.digiplan.ca for other
products we offer.
Sincerely
Quinn Zander

tubes are mirror images so ensure that the angles are correct by referring to the drawings.
2. Mark and drill the holes in the leg tubes.
3. With the 1” flat bar, cut 2 pieces 13” and 2 pieces 10” in length for the long and short spread bars
4. With the ¼ pipe, cut 1 piece 12” and 1 piece 10” for the long and short wrap bars

Step 4 – Assembly
Please read through the instructions to ensure you have a mental picture of how this chair is constructed.
Remember you may click on underlined words to go directly to the associated picture.
Long Leg Assembly:
Thread a 5/16” hex nut onto one end of the long thread rod and allow approx. 1/8” of thread to stick out
past the nut. Weld this nut to the threaded rod to effectively make a long bolt.
Assemble the 2 long leg tubes, long wrap bar, and long thread rod. With another 5/16” nut, snug the
assembly together just tight enough to still allow some movement.
Clamp the assembly down to ensuring proper orientation to fit the lower long spread bar. Square the
assembly, locate the lower long spread bar and tack it in place.
Flip the assembly over and locate and tack the upper long spread bar. Weld the long spread bars to the leg
tubes. Do not weld the inner joint, as the short leg assembly must fold tight to the inner edge.
Short Leg Assembly:
Weld a 5/16” hex nut to the short thread rod in the same manner as was used for the long thread rod. Bolt
up the assembly and orient it to ensure that the lower short spread bar will lay flush to the table.
Clamp and square the assembly. Keep in mind that this assembly must fit inside the long leg assembly.
Ensure that there is a minimum of 1/32” clearance between the 2 assemblies. You may need to grind down
the short wrap bar and/or the short spread bars.
Once the clearance has been checked, locate the lower short spread bar and tack it in place. Flip the
assembly over, locate and tack the upper short spread bar, then weld them to the leg tubes.
Finishing Up:
Before painting, it is wise to dry fit the chair to ensure fit-up.
Place the short leg assembly into the long leg assembly and bolt them together with the
2 ½” bolts and lock nuts.
Unbolt the threaded rods and remove the wrap bars. If you had the nylon web straps pre-sewn at an
upholstery shop, slip the straps over the wrap bars, and re-fit them into the leg assemblies.
If you choose to sew the straps yourself, lap the ends back to the 4 ¾” mark and sew as shown. It is wise to
melt the cut ends of the straps with a lighter to prevent them from fraying (before you sew them).
