Default Box blind

Just joined a lease yesterday. Need to put up a stand or 2. Anyone got any box blind plans they willing to share?

TIA

Ground? Or on legs?
Either way I got to where I build everything with deck screws (just snug screws) at home then take apart & haul in sections to the woods & bring cordless drill & a couple batteries & reassemble, takes away from all the stress & risk of damage trying load, unload & stand up.

they have some on the internet or just stop by anywhere you see some for sale and take a look, not much to one. I use 5 sheets of plywood and 7 2x4x8 to build a 4x4 stand. I cut 1 sheet of ply for roof and floor and rip 2x4 into 2x2 for frameing.

What he said about ripping the 2x4 into 2x2's I do that also plus use 1/4 OSB for the walls, paint the OSB with a roller, several thick coats

Another thing we have found is running a bead of liquid nails when you screw or nail everything together, I rather use screws also.

Also if you're ever have a chance of hunting 2 out of it make no less than 4'x6' it'll get crowed real quick with 2 people, gear & guns

Make it comfortable! You'll definitely stay longer!
