The last thing you need is to fall due to a rusty worn down weld or cross member. It is much more cost effective to do a rust treatment on your stands rather than buy new stands every couple years.
Today’s tree stand prices have gotten pretty expensive so take care of the one’s you have. I use Rust Kutter as my rust treatment product. I have metal stands that after a couple rust treatments are on their 6th and 7th year of being in the woods and they still look great.
I’m a bigger man and when you’re my size tree stands only get much more expensive. The average cost for a tree stand that I have to buy is around $220. The average cost for a bottle of a rust treatment product is $16. I would much rather spend around $16 and give a little time and effort then go and spend hundreds of dollars on something that could have been prevented with a simple rust treatment.
