I know lots of folks make a platform to set your pop up blind on but does anyone make a permanent roof over it also? And how tall off the ground are y’all making the platforms. I have a spot I’d like to put a box in but I need to be at least 4-5 feet off the ground. I was thinking of a platform with a pop up.

My pop up platform will be 4 ft off the ground with a trap door in the floor to get in/out

how much in supplies does it cost you guys to build the platforms. Wood, screws time and everything.
Reason I ask is I to was going to build a base but I started looking on craigslist and found these...…………..
bought one and cut the extra metal off the top of the crossbars and made it nice and flat and flush. I then took 3 sheets of treated 3/4 inch plywood and screwed it to the top. Took thompsons water seal and coated plywood just to be safe but now I am 5 feet up and have plenty of room to put my pop up on and have a porch to gather before going in. for 150 plus 100 for the plywood this will last a long time.
