ProcsessAs I was researching I realized that there are two ways to build a deer blind. The first would be to build the lower supports first and then build the house on right on top of the base. The second way would be to build the frame and house desperately, then lift the house onto the frame. After talking to other people who have built deer blinds previously I have decided that it will be easier to build the two pieces separately and then attach them together later. I will build the frame first and then build the house on the ground. I will then use a skid steer to lift the house onto the frame and attach them. DEsignI have found a design that fits what I need. It is a 4 by 8 blind that appears to be very sturdy and weather resistant. The plan also has the blind being 10 feet in the air which is the perfect height. This is important because I do not want to deal with having to constantly repair it or worry about it collapsing while I am sitting in it. The design also has a slanted roof to drain water. The slanted roof will definitely help the blind last significantly longer and require less repairs. MaterialsChoosing the right material is one of the most important parts about building the deer blind. The wood needs to be very sturdy and pressure treated. Fortunately my dad runs a plant where he cuts wood component parts. So I may be able to get some reclaimed wood to use for the frame from him which will significantly cut down on the price of building the deer blind. I will definitely be able to use some of his extra plywood for the walls of the house. I already have most of the needed tools and machines to cut and build the deer blind.
