Anybody have plans/blueprints 4x6 Deer Blind

Wanting to build a bigger stand, so that my grandkids have a little more space to move around ! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just sent you a PM

I have some, but they are on the office computer. I'll rty to send them Monday if you still need them

I sent you a PM.

Hey Cold Spring could you shoot me a copy of them when you get some? I am starting to build mine next month and would like to see some other peoples ideas to maybe improve mine. Thanks.

I have built several 4X6 stands and would recommend building it 6X6. The width is OK for 1 adult and 1 kiddo, or 2 adults but you have no room to stretch your lets out straight in front. Another foot or 2 would make all the difference in the world. It is far better than what I had but I am working on drawings for my new 6x8.

Thanks, my email address is: garrylesser@sbcglobal.net

Also take a look at: http://deerstandplans.net/

Thanks.. Great link

I just sent you a email with drawings.

can i have yall pm me same info many thanks

I sent some to Coldspring. I'll gladly send the same to anyone that gives me an e-mail address

We built a 4 x 8 this year and it was perfect for up to 3 adults all with high back swivel chairs.

Sure shoot me a copy of the prints smith611@windstream.net

rofd1374@aol.com thanks

will send them out tomorrow AM.

Any way I can get any of you with plans for a deer stand to PM me as well? I'm planning to build one myself and, like Smith611, want to compare other ideas to try and make mine better. I can provide an email to anyone if necessary. Thanks, guys!

Could you spare one more copy...PM my email

Thanks a bunch...looking to help my nephew and niece build one.

what is your e-mail, ETX?

Still hunting the old 4x4 the last 12 yrs. I think it has shrunk time for a new one this spring. I would love to build a larger stand, 6x6 maybe. If you would be so kind to email plans.

let the wood guide you.....

4x6 or 4x8 plans to mmcelray@ibanktx.com please me and 2 boys are getting a little crowded

thanks

why plans? this is not a structure to insure or live in? Make it how you want it. What do you want and Ill help guide you

okietex, that works fine, but sometimes having a set of diagrams just gets things rolling. I'm not an artist, but I consider myself capable of following directions and using power tools. The things I've built following a sketch and some directions comes out FAR better than something I just start building.

It also helps when you aren't positive how you want it. Now that I've built a few from the plans I've given out, I've made a few modifications to better suit me (which I shared with those that asked for the plans), so the next one will be even better than the last ones.

about the bigger stands, I've hunted larger, and if it makes any sense, I find it hard to hunt out of a stand larger than 4x6. Of course, I tend to put the stand backed up to something and only look 3 directions, so I stt back against the back wall and only look left, right, and straight ahead. ^ feet deep just puts me too far back into the stand. 4.5 deep for a little more foot room by no more than 6 wide would be perfect for 2 people, but with the dimensions of plywood being 4x8, it adds to the cost to make it more than 4 feet. There is also the issue of getting the thing moved and set in place when they are larger.

Of course, one of these days, I'm going to get some hardi-plank and find some scrap standing seam roof, & few windows, and I'll have one helluva blind, but it will need to be built in place.

Here's what I put together this year. I used the lower frame from a duck blind that I had been using the past couple of years in Oklahoma. The blind was made so each panel could be carried out and bolted together. I used the same concept with the deer stand.

I started with framing the floor so that about 1 1/2" of plywood overhangs the 2x6. I then built the sides and front/back so that the plywood overhang by a few inches. This way it was easy to push/pull the sides so everything was flush. I drilled 3 holes on the bottom 2x4s of the 8'ft front/back pieces and 2 holes on the sides. I could then bolt all 4 pieces to the floor. I also drilled the corners of the 1x4s so that I could just slide in a bolt to hold the 4 sides together.

Then I drilled the plywood on the sides and the 2x4's on the upper sections (with the windows), two holes on each side and bolted them together.

Then I simply laid the roof on the top and put a screw in each corner. From here I put the 2x2 tubing flush against the 2x4's on the sides and front/back and then screwed them to the roof.

I then disassembled everything and painted. I had to remove 6 screws from the 2x2 and 2x4's on the roof frame, and then the bolts holding everything together. Took about 15 minutes. Kids were disappointed to see the "clubhouse" go.

While the paint was drying I built the lower frame. Notched out a 2x12 so it fit right between the 2x6's on the floor. I bolted to 4x4s and cut the tops so they were flush with the notch. After everything was squared away I added the bottom brace. I did both sides like this and then bolted the 2x12 to the 2x4 (wish I would have put a 2x6 there, but was initially a duck blind and was just working with what I had. I then added my 2x4 diagonals to both saides and flipped her over.

Was really steady but was worried I would have a hard time getting all the panels up by myself, so I ended up cutting the 8' 4x4's down to 6.5'. Wish I would have left them.

I was able to fit everything in the back of my pickup. When I got to my location, just lined up the holes and put a few bolts in. After everything was bolted together I reinforced it with a few screws. If I need to move it, I can have it disassembled in about 30 minutes and loaded in a pickup.

Its not fancy and it does stick out a little bit. But it certainly got the job done. You can take a different approach with the windows and maybe use plexiglass so you can leave the windows closed and still see.

I went with 4x8 because I just felt it would be easier to build since the sheets already come 8 ft long. So its not anymore expensive and you can save on cutting.

We build a prefab setup that is 4'x6'. If interested. I can get the information to you. Everything is in sections. Front, sides, back w/door. Easy to use windows. Metal bases with legs. Up to 14'. We have built 4 over the years on our place and I have helped my buddies build them. We also build a 44" square base one that is for one person. This is so a 4' roof will fit on it perectly. I can set most of these up with help from one person in about 30-60 minutes depending on the size.

Make a mock up of what you want. Go to the appliance stores and for appliance boxes, with the boxes and duck tape you can try different sizes and see what changes you want to make. Be sure you use a chair like you plan on using in he blind. This way you can get your windows located, the size of the door and windows, how high.

A fridge box also makes a good 1 person blind, portable, can be painted. Just cut your windows on 3 sides and fold out. Even a washer box can be used, just no top or for a small person you can leave the top on it.
