Default Pics of my new enclosed stand

I biult this tree stand late last winter in my garage in sections .
It is 6 x 8 feet .w and long and 6x8 foot pitch for the roof.
I wanted something big enough to shoot my bow out of .
I biult 4 walls and a roof out or 2x4s and plywood and obs .
I then biult the floor out of pressure treeted 2x8s and 1/2 inch cdx.
I used 6 4x4s that are 12 feet long .
I fist dug by hand the 6 holes abought 1and 1/2 feet deep give or take , then leveled it .
I used my TC30 Tractor to lift it up .
I anchored it with 4 metal posts and cable .
Then cemented the 4x4s in the ground with rocks and cement to holed it down .
A few days later ( actualy last Thursday ) My son gave me a hand to put up the walls The tractor and loader made it a lot easier to get the sections up but it was still a brutal job.
I,m still soar from lifting because the last wall had to go in just right and it was the biggest wall 8 x 8 feet .
I also painted it in camo before it was put up .
The floor is abought 10 1/2 feet off the ground . Pretty high .
Anyways I want somthing decent and better then I previously had . ( non enclosed stand ,
This is my 2nd enclosed stand I biult on my huinting property in the last 2 years .
Not sure if you noticed but it has 7 hinged plexy glass windows and a door in the rear .

Thats a nice setup, how about some closer pictures of the inside and out. That will help keep you warm this season!

that looks cool, my only question is, do the trees hinder any shots. the deer will get used to the blind being there so you don't needthe treesto hide the blind.they probably don't get in the way but i am just thowing that out there for you to consider.

Very Nice, but why didnt you pitch the roof towards the back? Now the rain will run down the roof in front of you if its raining. That might make it a little tough to see and dump water on your gun when you stick it out the window to touch one off.
