    Building a deer blind

    Indeed. I'm contemplating on going with a 8x5 to save some money. I really dont want to go over 750.

    Building a deer blind

    I remember as a kid how I loved camping, even if it was in the back yard. That said I think the blind could serve that purpose as well. So I think my 6x6 is going to turn into an 8x6 so I can easily lay in it.

    Building a deer blind

    That is a good suggestion on the carpet. As for the shooting window height I was planning on buying a used Barbour chair for the kids. The vents I have covered. I will be using the same type of vent you likely have in your house. I believe they are 16in x 8in. That'll be one on the bottom and...

    Building a deer blind

    I am planning to only use a gun for this. I know the door and windows will be the most difficult part for me to keep out bugs and the weather. Im not wanting to buy windows or door. I think a rubber flap will be enough for the rain and bugs.

    Building a deer blind

    Thanks. I dont use nails on anything I build. They're nothing but a pain in my book. I like the idea of large latches. I may bring a pair of gloves in lowes to make sure I can operate them. As far as windows I plan on about a foot maybe a foot and a half tall opening. When I'm building it I'll...

    Building a deer blind

    I haven't in the past. I usually just painted and replaced as needed, every few years. My slopes one has gone 5 years and looks like itll get another 3. I use only screws when making these thing to make repairs a little easier.

    Building a deer blind

    Thanks for the reply. You know I wouldn't have painted the bottom but it makes sense to because of those bees, hate them. I have been concerned about waterproofing the windows and doors. I was thinking of some rubber like on the bottom of the garage door. Just pull the window or door closed hard...

    Building a deer blind

    Thanks for the reply. I have found over time that plywood bows and will create puddles. I learned that when I built my dogs their 4x4 house. The insulation isnt there so much for heating purposes. I want it for sound deadening. I'm as determined to keep those mice out as much as they are...

    Building a deer blind

    Thanks for the reply. I was considering a 4x8 but maybe I'll do a 6x6 instead. I didn't think of the sun shine or rain. I will definitely have to build that above the windows. As far as skids go the plan is me and a buddy will be tipping this over into a 5x8 trailer and haul it by truck or utv...

    Building a deer blind

    I'm looking for opinions on building your own stand. I haven't decided the size but I'm leaning toward a 4x6 size and 8 to 7 feet tall (sloping roof). So far I plan on using treated lumber through out and painting the outside to help with longevity. I'll have it elevated roughly a foot off of...
