The BEST DIY deer blind tower + 5 Tips 

Replace one of the 3 screws at the leg attachment with a lag bolt. Not very secure with with those light screws

Best instructional video I have seen so far on tower bases. Great Job man.

Glad to have found this video. I'm moving away from full shooting houses and instead will build a few of these to install ground blinds on top of them - which can easily be put up and taken back down at the end of the hunting season.. Thank you for all the detail; the idea to tilt the legs is very valuable! Thank you!

That's a really slick way to angle the legs outward 👍🏻

Thanks for the great video, two thumbs up from another Wisconsin Hunter!

Some really great tips in this video. Squeak free is paramount to success when a deer is relatively close to the stand.

Great idea. I have wasps in my stands, I think that'll definitely help.

Great product!!! Would buy again.

Great Video ,love the way you explain everything .

Thanks for the video. Very informative and helpful sir.

This is my first blind, I'm using it for coyote. Easy to set up and take down. ru-vid.comUgkxLQGtOO9dXIsNktEeycGoIT6jtJJNTScA Definitely happy with what I got. If you are looking for something cheap to get you by, I recommed this blind it does the job just fine. I'm giving it a 5 star over all because it was better then I expected, I really thought with it being so cheap I was going to get what I paid for and I'm happy with it. Also I had my 11 year old son and a buddy of mine in it and it wasn't too cramped

Great video thank you for sharing. Helps alot and another thing; she finds me handy.lol.. saw your answer below.. Red Green show

Thanks David!!

Greatly Appreciated!!

I don't use elevator brackets any more but instead cut my floor frame at 8 degree angles. So you didn't save me money but you saved me a butt load of time. Liked and subscribed. Hope to see more content like this from you.

Leg tilt was awesome man thanks

Great video

This was a very helpful video! Used your leg tilt idea and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Awesome video!

I like the video. Thank you. I was surprised you didn’t run the plywood the other direction but I’m no carpenter.

Awesome

Nice video!

Nice tutorial and I subscribed! Thanks for sharing this. I would like to give this a try next season.

Hey Buck, love this video it gave me a couple of good tips. I have one question for you on this is when you bring this out to your spot any special way you anchor it?

Having 4' legs , how wide overall did that make it with the shims. Great video and tips. Thank you.

You got me to subscribe and never put a video on how to build the walls, window cut outs, door and door installation, window installation

Do the straight bottom screws in the corners go through the 1” wide plywood strips, before entering the 4”x4” ? Or are they entering above the 1”wide plywood strip before entering the 4”x4”?

A tube of flooring glue added to the top of each joist before securing the plywood, goes a long way to reducing and risk of squeaks in future. Just saying.

You only angle your legs out in one direction? Curious if I missed it being a compound angle or how sturdy 8ft are if you do one angle

Awesome video, i liked it 😉. Would you know how to build a 15ft high?my state requires 15ft for rifle. Thx

I’m building mine on the side of a big hill. It’s going to require some ingenuity. Trying to absorb all of the tips I can.

Looking for the video about design that you mentioned. Where might that be?

Just curious why you aren't using the spax lag screw in the 4x4's? Nice build bud

You think 94° is hot. Try Alabama with a 100% humidity. 94° feels 110°.

How much it all cost to put build that yourself

you are relying on the screws to hold all your weight. if you set the platform on the legs, it will be a lot stronger.

Why isn't the little narrow 2x4 placement put over by the scene part instead of out there where it's not needed on the wide one

Need to use nail or lag for joist, not screws.

Much faster cheaper and better to use old scaffolding!!!!!

Total price?

Big waste of material for a 4 ft high blind

Don't look safe just buy some elevator brackets!

For God sakes who uses Phillips screws anymore . Used torques.

For this being a tutorial on building a stand for a blind, if you pardon me, you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground! For this being a tutorial on building a stand for a blind, if you pardon me, you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground you talked about not using a truss bracket on your floor joist and I’ll bet what you should’ve been saying is you don’t use a joist hanger on your joists! Secondly the plywood floor should be installed perpendicular to the direction of the joists! Did you know that you can actually go to the plywood manufacturer’s website and they have instructions on how to install plywood for everyone to see. The only time you do not put plywood on perpendicular to the joists is when you install it as wall sheathing. Other than that it must be installed perpendicular to the framing members. So if you weren’t acting as a teacher of these platforms, I wouldn’t have commented. If you teach, you must be correct.
