I designed one two years ago that has proved worthy. I was skeptical of most raised boxes built with 4x4's, even when the posts were angled some. My design employs rear legs (4x6) angled side to side, and front angled back to front. There are some supports running front to back that tie into the side to side lower support. It withheld some wind storms last summer where other stands were tipped.

The box is 4'W 6'L and there is a 6'5" head clearance. we wanted some larger stands to start getting the kids out there (ages 5-9). The height of the floor is approximately 11'. The shooting rails are about 42" high, so almost 15" shooting height.

I built them to be modular so we could get them into the woods easier. The pic of the trailer has 2 full stands loaded.


Total cost was around $275 a piece.
