RE: building a ground blinds what should i use

8 by 8 or 8 ft by 12ft is closer to a small cabin,there's little reason to have it more then 5-6 ft by 4ft by say 5 or 6 ft high,and that's for an actual ground blind,sounds like your thinking more towards a tree house,elevating something 5-10 ft that would be 8 by 8 to 8 by 12 ,would be very difficult.
if you keep it on the ground,all you'll need is treated 2 by 4's,frame then cover with plywood. for an elevated covered instand,i haven't tried using posts,i have 1 spot with 4 big trees that were perfect for building basically a 6 ft by 4 ft treehouse,about 12 ft high floor basewas as high as thetrees would allow.used 2 by 6's for the floor and 2 by 4's treated lumber for the walls.

i am a big guy and wont to make sure it is big enough for to people
If that is 6x4 so be it
i think i will take a sheets of osb lay it down. Have two people gear up up and see how much we need or do not need

i had a spot in ky that had two trees both three foot around or more
that would have been a great spot but i moved
