building a ground blinds what should i use
I am planing on buying some land and one of the things i wont to do is build a ground blind.
about 5 feet to 10feet off the ground not sure yet how high Should i use 4x4 or 4x6 post or go with a welded steel frame |

Use the land, I am planning on cutting some locust or ceder trees for posts. then fill in the space with other parts of the woods I find. I like the Idea of using ceder and refreshing it often to help as cent cover.

bigtim,
If you are going elevated, i'm not sure that 5 feet up will do much for you unless there is a specific topographical reason you need to be a few feet up in a particular location. 4x4 or 4x6 ? I guess that depends on how big you are going to make the blind and how far you will be spacing the posts. |
RE: building a ground blinds what should i use
i am unsure of spacing it will be around 8by 8 ft maybe 8by12 not sure yet I wont to people to be able to use it comfortably and fit a small heater if need be
Of corse there is the 25inch Tv satalite dish fridge for beerso on No justjoken ORIGINAL: DannyD bigtim, If you are going elevated, i'm not sure that 5 feet up will do much for you unless there is a specific topographical reason you need to be a few feet up in a particular location. 4x4 or 4x6 ?

also how tall do i wont it inside
and if i was to use small house windows so i could seal it up to keep as much smell in the sound from the gun shot either a shotgun or muzzleloader would not breck the windows would it |

8 X 8 should be plenty for 2 people gun or bow. At that size i would go with 4 foot spacing for the 4x4.
As Drenal has suggeted using plexiglass instead of glass would be better. Do you plan on using this for gun only, or gun and bow? |
