4x6 box blind build

[Spoken0313]

Finally got er finished and up! Three more to go...

How'd you get it up on that base? I need to start building me a couple of these

[Winman]

Yea, you might be right (it's been about 15 years since I built a blind ) I looked at the 2x2's and decided to go with the 2x4's. The cost was not really much more and I figured the 2x4's would give more room for multiple screws and make the blind more sturdy all around?

It's going to be sturdy allright.....and HEAVY...hope you aren't going to put it very far up in the air.....may need a winch truck or crane to lift it up.....

Looks good Cuz. The only improvement I can see is me in there shootin' at some HOGS!!!

Spoken & Winnman, I welded some forks onto the bucket of my tractor and it lifted it up to 8.5' when level. So I cut the 4x4 legs to 8', lifted the blind with the tractor and put the legs and braces on right there on the spot. Good to go




BIZ, I don't see how YOU in ANYTHING could improve it!

Well **** I don't have a tractor so there goes that idea

Then I'd say build it with 2x2's instead of 2x4's (accept the floor studs). Then lay it on its side and build/attach the legs and base while its laying over. Then, with a few guys, stand it up. I thinks it's too heavy with all 2x4's to do that. IF you could lift it the weight at an angle might make the legs buckle.

Yea I think I'm gonna find some angle iron to build the base and make the legs out of square tubing at least that's the thought for now

Looks good, and with very limited materials...I approve

Sweet setup.

What are the height of your windows? I am building a similar blind and need some measurements. Thanks

[Booner Sooner]

Very nice

Looks awesome

Something I see that I would recommend is to put your shelves lower so that you can set binos, range finders, snack bar, etc on there w/o exposing your hand movements through the window. Something I've figured out the hard way.
Looks great though.
