Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Let's see your tower blinds

Here's my current all steel blind, going 7' x 7' next year and slightly taller. Current blind is about 8' off the ground, new one will be 10' off the ground.

I will build the new one in place and bring this one home to use at the farm.

Anyone have the plans / wood needed for either a 4’x4’ or 5’x5’ enclosed stand ? Plan to build one this off season .

It's just as cheap to build a 6x6 or 7x7.

Get you a chair and a few 2x4s and layout the size you want, and you'll see bigger is better.

On the wood replacement blind we have built, we make them 4'x6' and prefab them. The 4'x 6' is large enough for two people to sit in. We take the base, four walls and a roof and lag bolt them together on the metal frame.

If only needing a view on three sides, I like a 4x8 or 5x10. Point a skinny end toward the center of your viewing area. If you hunt by yourself, sit in that front end, as you can easily reach either side and also shoot out the front window. If others hunt, they can sit behind you and cover the sides.

I don’t know that I agree with that. Current blind is 4x6. I sometimes wish I had a little more room in the 4’ direction but almost always wish it was shorter in the long direction. My next one will likely be 5x5.

I built the last two 5’4” by 4’. I like to see all 4 directions without moving
