Looking for treestand covering (roof) that has "ARCH" in it - The Firearms Forum

wpshooter · 08-29-2012, 07:33 AM

I am wanting to purchase a covering "roof" (to keep the rain off of me) when I am up in my climbing treestand.

I have purchased some of these in the past and they did not have an "ARCH" to the roof covering, thus as soon as the rain ponded up in the middle of the roof they started to leak rain on me.

So, I am looking for a roof that has an ARCH to the roof covering.

I have found one that is made by a company named "BIG DOG" - see following link.

Does anyone know of any other companies that make a treestand roof covering that has an ARCH to the roof ???

Thanks.

What I have is a Hunter's Safety System setup. It is basically a triangle on a bracket that you hook your harness to so that you have more flexibility moving around. On top of that, it has an umbrella that straps to the tree as well. You might look at that. Not sure what the name is off the top of my head, but you might give it a look. It's about the same price, if I recall correctly.

I made one once with a piece of tarp and some willow limbs. The one you have found at http://bigdogtreestands.com/products...luxe-roof-kit/ looks good to me, and the price isn't to bad.

I have used a tree stand umbrelia for 25 years. No label on mine now but looks just like the Allen Company umbrelia and is around 54" across and wraps around the tree.

The tree stand umbrella works great and is easy to set up and carry in and out. Quiet, and keeps you dry, plus you can bow hunt under it. Fits in a back pack.
