johnf Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Re: Plans for hunting shack Why do you need plans? They are pretty simple. Build a tower. Put a box on it. Are you going metal or wood? Do you weld? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: Plans for hunting shack Built our tower platform out of steel. Welded the sections together at home and transported them on a trailer with the tractor back to where I wanted it. Used the tractor bucket to lift the blind section into place. Got some pictures over at jesseshunting I will try to post in here later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Re: Plans for hunting shack Built this the summer of 2004. Kind of figured out what I wanted on paper, then ordered my steel, cut my steel to lengths I wanted and welded the pieces together for the platform. This is for a 6x6x6. The platform is elevated to approximately 9 feet. Used square tubing for the inside frame of the walls as well. Semi finished product. Later came back and added an ondura roof over the plywood and added some awnings over the sliding plexiglass windows. The wife killed her first buck out of this blind the same season we built it. My 9 year old killed her first deer, a decent buck, out of this blind this past season after we watched some pretty intense fighting and watching 4 different bucks on the field at the same time.

VTbowman Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: Plans for hunting shack Here it is with the 1/8" OSB painted tan and my own "sticks and branches" camo. LOL (Which looks much better when its not all green leafy background....) It has two 1x2 and one 1x6 hinged windows that swing in and up. I have it heated for those frosty Nov and Dec hunts.
