Shooting House Builds

[Gobble4me757]

We got some free osb late summer, and my father's buddy had some treated 4x4s as well as a 4x8 treated plywood piece. He and my dad went to work and framed it/put it up. I was able to get down a couple of weekends to paint and put some deer view windows in. We will take the scaffolding off but it's pretty much finished! 4x8 at 6" elevation. The other is one we built and was able to paint it to protect the osb but there is still some work to do regarding windows and trimming the corners, ladders. I'll throw a couple of pics of my greenfields they are overlooking! Hope y'all enjoy! It was a bunch of work, and we are proud of em!

Edit: I forgot to mention the reason for doing these is to have a place my son who is 7months can hunt with me in a few years. It brings back memories of me hunting with my big papaw out of a single 4x4 house on the same fields 25 years ago. I can't wait Lord willing!

Looks great.

 

[ROVERBOY]

Looks good. Did you put some insulation in it?

 

[DaveTN]

Looks good. But I thought OSB would fall apart in the rain??

 

[Snake]

Awesome, looks like a good area as well .

Man we didn't. It's sealed with the windows. Should be decently warmer than outside but will still need to bundle up. Carpet on the bottom with office chairs. I may go back and put some in as it won't be tough!

Worried about that which is why we put two coats of exterior messed up paint we got for 15$ a can on each. Trimmed the edges to help and really painted it thick along the edges. Hope it lasts for years but only time will tell

Looks good. Those walls will be nice when that cold wind blows.

That looks great. What did you do for your windows. I have a work in progress that is just about done but I can't decide how I want my windows. Thinking just plexiglass on hinges at least until I make my mind up lol

Man, I actually decided against plexiglass due to clarity overtime…I got the deer view window single hinge 36"x12" on each side. I did the grey glass one. They are awesome. The deer can't really see in but you can still see out really good. Here is a pic of the inside:

Hinge Window (DV)

Our Hinge Window is a very economical window system to be utilized in hunting stands. This window system is made from a fully weather-stripped aluminum frame in which double strength glass is marine…
