Hey Rad, I tried sending you a PM but your box is full.
Could I you send me a PM with the her and Oct blind prints plz!

Are those 2x2 for the framing. Why those instead of 2x4... Weight?

I would assume weight and cost. And to cut cost even more, a 2x4 can be ripped down the middle to make 2x2s. My BIL's stand is 2x2s and its plenty sturdy 6' off the ground.

Yes, 2"x2"s for weight. They also take up less room. It is more than strong enough once the skins are on the walls.

Thinking about doing something similar but may put plywood instead of the wood fencing.

Cleric, the wood on the stand above is 1/2" OSB "smart siding" sheeting. It is a pre-primed surface used for utility siding. It is more durable than painted plywood since the exterior coating is bonded to the wood.

Anyone got any plans or ideas for a 4x8 blind with a 6-10 foot tower all wood? Thanks for the help

StretchR, PM sent

Anyone have plans for a 5 x 5?

Hello,

Going thru some old posts for constructing a deer blind and ran across yours. Looks simple enough to construct for a guy like me with minimal carpentry skills. lol. Is it possible for you to send me your plans to my personal email address? gp7556@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you. Thanks.

I'm wanting to build a 6x6 stand that I can put up in sections on my lease. Would like it 8'ft to 12'ft off the ground. You have any plans that might fit that? Was thinking of building the frame base out of angle iron with the angles turned inward and upside down and put the piece of plywood on top of that. Thought about either having walls that then insert through holes in the plywood floor/angle iron with lagbolts. I can see it in my mind but I'm no builder so thats where I get lost.

StretchR.....can you post a pic(s) of how you attached the walls to each other?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Adam,

The frames for the front and rear walls are screwed to the base. The side walls don't have a complete frame, just cross-members that go between the front and rear walls at the floor, window edges, and roof line. Those are clamped square, then fastened with a 3" deck screw. This blind doesn't have individually framed walls for the end.

It could be done by revising the end wall cross-member dimensions to allow vertical posts on the end. That would mean that my original wall dimensions for all end cross-pieces would be 3" shorter. Then all you would have to do to erect the walls on site would be to screw the end walls inside the front and back. You would need to build first (so you could put on plywood skins) then remove sections. Once you had the walls up in the final location you could also use shorter screws through the plywood into the vertical ends of the front and back walls... hopefully some of that made sense.

The first photo is of the back wall up with a brace. The front wall went up exactly the same way. In the second photo you can see the front and rear joined with the cross pieces. To frame all the walls, visualize a second 2"x2" next to the ones on the front and back walls. The cross-pieces would be between those.

PM your email and I will send you the PDF that has the drawings, materials, instructions, and some more photos.

Anyone mind sharing their blind plans with me? jimmiemoreland@gmail.com

Anyone that has plans for a 4x6 blind, please help me out!

The more I look at the work that goes into these, the more I'm glad I paid for a prefab.

Take Fifteen 2x4s and screw the together like this......Add 1/2 sheet of plywood for floor and a piece of camo burlap....

Could you email me the plans for the deer blind please
dterril@oes-solutions.com

Thanks

After lots of internet searching, last season I decided to make a 6x8 blind by following this shed plan on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh_QMJALct4

Could someone please email me the Hexagon blind plans?

Thanks!

I built what I consider to be the greatest blind. I have the step-by-step directions on my website. They are extremely thorough and you will not be disappointed. Also I made a video of how to build the entire project.

I just found an awesome YouTube video for a DIY 8x8 hunting blind. I have already starting getting all the stuff, it looks sturdy and suyper easy to build. Finally, a big blind that 1 person can build and get into the field! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvrxGUlOKWc

Record number of one-and-dones in here.

No plans, just 'winging it'.

Dedicated hog stand on my property. I have others...but needed another in this locale.

Decided to make a 4' x 8' ....elevated 8 feet (to floor).

Will be a 'side by side' (using two pedestal seats mounted to floor). This will allow two hunters to be seated in the stand comfortably and take a 'timed' shot when a group of hogs shows up.

Since it's on my own property and will be a fixed/permanent stand....I chose to build it sturdier than would make sense for others.

I just finished with the framing the other day and will get started on roofing it next. Then apply the siding. Paint it. Then install the sliding windows and door.

If it looks a little tall (box dimensions) it is because the inside height is 78". I am 6'-5" in my bare feet so need the room to be able to stand up and stretch. If you are able to make a box blind a bit shorter it would make a nicer scale.
