Default RE: DIY Permanent Stand Designs

Sounds more like a blind than a stand. We built ours out of 2x4s and a peice of plywood. Cost about 50 bucks for two stands. They are about 15 ft high and 24" wide and 36" deep.

No roofs on ours.

Now we did build some blinds for during the winter. They are 4 foot by 4 foot and framed like house. they have a window in every wall, a small door and are on 13 foot 4x4's. They have shingled roofs and are air tight with sealable vents (keeps the bugs out during the summer). And have T-111 primered siding and ceder trim. We have heaters and swivel barstools in them.

I think they were like 350 in materials a piece, and we got a discount because one of us works at the lumber yard. They sure are nice when it's nasty out though.

Here is the blind:

This is where the deer usually jump the fence to cross the meadow.

And to the right

Not exactly set up for a bow though, I use an inline ML out of that. And no I don't drive my car out there when I hunt. This was during the off season. I was either cleaning it out, or setting it up, I don't remember which.
