We build some shooting houses, but there is one thing that makes me lean towards metal down here in South Alabama...wasps. They usually are around all but the last couple weeks of January. Sometimes all season. And they love wood structures. We spend over $100 and a more than a few hours every season just getting a handful of shooting houses clear of those spawn of satan.
However, I am planning on replacing a wooden ladder to one of them. I think I may actually drill large holes and use 3/8" bolts with nuts to attach the rungs to the legs.
