This was a friend of ours,12x12, 3 walls were garage doors, 4th wall was stainless steel counter with a sink, cabinets, fridge etc. like an outdoor kitchen. It was like a covered gazebo when it was not being used as a cleaning station. It even had a portable firepit that he could hook up to a chimney. A fiberglass picnic table for a work table doubled as a cleaning table. The winch system was hooked up to a beam in the ceiling.

Before he put up the garage doors he used tarps that he would tie up to break the wind. At first he used a water hose and extension cords, after a couple of years that was made permanent.

I have an old live oak that has a screw eye holding a pulley with gambrel. Gut bucket on an earthen floor. Best setup ever. Within hose and extension cord distance from house.

Love that country. 'Not for everyone though.

Put in an electric winch, if you've got power. I added one and man, am I glad I did. When it's dark and you're old and tired, there's nothing better. It help's load and unload so much.

If you pour a slab, make sure you know what you're doing or have someone that does. Mine came with the place and whenever I spray it off, I lose just a little bit more of it. bang

Do an outdoor sink/cutting surface. Really helps when quartering/cleaning meat. We built this one from some scrap plastic type countertop and a sink on the side of the road. Hooked it up to a hose splitter and had an outdoor sink for pennies. [Linked Image]

No pics. We have a lean-to off our barn with a harbor freight 600# overhead winch, water hose, chest freezer and ice maker. The ice maker is worth it's weight in gold, especially in the summer.

Lights, water, table and the container is on the north side for a wind block. Two hand crank winches for two animals at once.

Thanks in advance


Refabbed an old blind stand frame, slapped some r panel on top and attached a 400/800 lb hoist we got from Amazon. Works great.

This was designed and built immediately after I had one of those $100 tripod game hanging stations break as I was caping my personal best buck and the metal top slammed into my head, almost knocking me out. I was then done with the cheap foldout tripod hoist.

I designed this idea and my welding budding rocked the rest out. We have a couple BRIGHT lights that we shine up to the underside of the roof and it reflects a ton of light down, and doesn’t blind us in the process. Took an old telephone pole into thirds and dug a 3’ hole down for each, and filled with quickcrete. Beat improvement on the property that I can think of. My wife might say it was the house, though.

*We have three cranks set up there now...this photos shows only two, and we extended the hangers to the middle of the covered area, but offset them slightly so three hunters can skin at the same time.

I don't have any pictures here but ours is pretty rustic, a regular gambrel, two lights mounted on the beams and a tin roof. The best feature in my opinion is a 4x4' rectangle of aluminum grate extrusion that is about 4" off the ground and allows everything to drain through and keep things clean.

No pics but this is our setup also. Manual pulley winch and gambrel hung up in an old growth cedar. I may buy an electric winch in the future. This is a great thread cheers
