Industry: Hunting
Powder-coated steel tower stands—made in the USA—that balance premium quality with practical pricing and shipping efficiency.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
- Manufacturing Advantage
- Engineering Excellence
- Quality & Durability Features
- User-Focused Design
Hunting blind manufacturers face a critical challenge: sourcing tower stands that maintain premium quality while keeping inventory and shipping costs manageable. Traditional solutions force difficult tradeoffs. Imported stands require large minimum orders and long lead times, tying up capital and warehouse space. And wooden stands deteriorate over time. Some domestic metal stands are overbuilt, driving costs unnecessarily high and complicating transport and assembly.

Our custom-engineered tower stands deliver premium quality through optimized powder-coated steel construction, featuring precisely calibrated material thickness that maximizes durability while minimizing weight and cost. The modular design includes an 8-foot standard tower with optional 4′ and 8′ extensions, integrated safety handrails, and intuitive assembly features.
What sets JR Metal’s solution apart is our innovative redesign approach. We’ve eliminated unnecessary overbuilding while maintaining structural integrity, creating a product that’s strong yet practical to ship and for the end-user to transport and install.
Our flexible manufacturing process allows for orders as low as 25 units, enabling hunting blind manufacturers to maintain lean inventory while ensuring consistent quality.

“The original design was solid but overbuilt, which drove manufacturing costs through the roof. We reimagined it from the ground up, engineering a design that uses lighter, powder-coated steel without compromising quality. It’s that sweet spot between premium construction and practical cost.“
