I’m no carpenter, so don’t judge the stairs too harshly. I also need to put more rails on the bottom stairs and platform. Anyway, this is my latest deer blind build. It’s 6’x8’ and sits on 10’ legs. I built it in pieces and hauled it out to the lane in two trips.

Why did you build that upside down?
But seriously that's a nice stand! How much money did that run you? I'm looking to build a similar one and trying to wrap my head around the lumber prices... |

So, the upside down is camouflage?
 Looks big enough to live in. Nice. |

Looks great. Stairs are a bit odd.
How stable is that? how high off ground? I build 4x4 stands 16' tall using telephone poles. But since covid telephone poles have dried up. Need to build a few possibly using 4x4. |

Need to build a few possibly using 4x4. Stairs are a lot odd. Long story but it mostly boils down to my ineptitude. They are sturdy though. The whole blind is very sturdy. The base sits on 10’ legs. |

I’ve been hunting for over 40 years. I’ve never hunted upside down. Gotta try that.

I prebuilt most of this one before picking the actual spot to put it. Definitely messed up a few things and what you see is that plus the mods to fix the issues.  Attached File |

The wall covering? Is that material? Or plastic sheeting?

Deer don’t give a crap about the camo panels but I thought I’d try them. |

With the price of lumber, and your time, why didn't you buy a redneck? Scent proof, weatherproof, huge warranty, easy to relocate, and probably cheaper.

View from the blind a couple nights ago. We were NOT hunting. Just doing some work at the property and sat in the blind with some beers for a while.

Cold beers, a bow, and a sunset is PRIME hunting time. It’s Ohio’s #1 sport. |
