Building my first deer blind

[txhurricane]

I got on a deer lease this year and I will be building my first ground stand. I want to do a 4x6. My two younger kids will probably be hunting with me so I want to make it comfortable for them. I was hoping to get pointers and maybe learn from some of ya'lls experiences. I want to keep cost down so I'm thinking about using 2x2's for frame.

2x2's are a good way to go. Whatever wood you can find just piece on together. Just make sure you seal it off.

I built my own a few years ago that was a 4X6. I used 2X4's and it was a little much. If I had to do it over again I would have used 2X2's. I would use the 2X4's on the bottom to keep it from sagging when you get 2 or 3 people in it. It was fun building it and I thought I would save alot of money but i got carried away and put windows and 12ft legs under it. In the end it cost me more than I wanted to pay but it was a great view from up there and warm when the north wind was blowing.

Ok got the deer stand done!

Got it finished and have less than $100 in it. I used all scrap wood and found 5 gallons of paint for $15 (home depot throw back). I went a little overboard on the paint but I was having fun. The kids love it, they want to sleep in the deer stand, forget the trailer.

Looks real good. I use old carpet to line the inside so I can be more comfortable and I don't make as much noise.
