Muddy ladderstands are manufactured at heights that are effective, and still pass safety certifications. For safety reasons, height extensions are not available as this would be a modification to the design, void the warranty, and put the user at risk of serious injury or death.
We are very serious about your personal safety. A full-body fall arrest harness is included with your treestand/ladderstand to be used at all time during the use of your stand. Single safety belt or chest harnesses have been deemed unsafe for use in climbing apparatus applications and may endanger your personal safety. Use the harness included with your product that meets or exceeds industry standards recognized by TMA. Using a product at elevated heights without use of a harness that meets or exceeds industry standards recognized by TMA may result in either serious injury or death.

Using your stand with any of this damage may result in serious injury or death. Damage caused by any of these factors is not covered by the warranty and replacement parts would need to be purchased.
