Bcxbow has the right idea. All I will add is to half-lap the 2x4s where they cross and overlap each other. That will achieve two things, by half-lapping the 2x4s it will make the joints more secure and it will solidify and increase the longevity of the entire structure.
Don I like the above suggestion. I believe that if you use 3/4 plywood, the size (on a triangle) that you might need might just be enough to catch wind where you lose stability.
You know as we age the initial spurt is a bit fanned out, just saying! The funnel might be a good upgrade!

It is 8'x8' on top and on 10' 4x4s. It's very stable but for some reason I'd like to add some more to it for long term stability. I was thinking about using 3/4" plywood triangles and my buddy seems to think I should just remove the lower 2x4s at the bottom and move them up. I plan on putting a 5 hub ground blind this year and if I have the time and this place is productive, I'll put up a solid structure on the platform. I put a ladder made from 2x4s on the backside after the picture.
