Best place to buy Box Stand?

Postby chevy01234 » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:46 am

The guy with the school is done building them for the year. I need something 4x6 or 6x6. Don't want to pay 2k for a stand, would like to keep it under $800 or so. I just need the actual shooting house, I already have a platform built. Found some on craigslist in Southhaven that I could probably modify to make a little nicer but just wanted to see what other options were out there. Thanks

Why don't you build one yourself? Couple of 12' 4x4s cut in half used for the corners of the blind, use wood screws to attach 1/2 plywood to the sides, and use 3/4 plywood for the roof and floor throw in a couple of 2x4 bracing for the inside walls a few hinges for a door and that thing will last you 10 years.. Should be less than $200.00. If you get the store to cut the plywood for you takes about 30 minutes to put together..

I'm definitely not spending the $1000+ on a Redneck Blind or anything like that. I was looking at cheaper options before building one. Doesn't have anything to do with being lazy and I may still end up building one but my weekends are booked until gun season starts with other crap that takes priority over deer stands so I was looking for options.

Sorry for not responding to the couple of pm's yet. Haven't been on here much the past few days. Will respond tonight. Thanks again for the suggestions guys.
