By far the best instructional video I’ve found to follow to build my own blind. Thank you for taking the time to do a quality video!

Nice build Brett. The attention to the detail makes this by far, one of the best I have seen on KZfaq.

One of the best box blinds I've seen! Very well built! Thanks for sharing!

Great videos, Brett! I appreciate that we don't need to watch video of you installing 20 screws - thanks! You've included just the pertinent info. I have built the components and plan to tip up the base/floor (I am using 4x4 brackets) once the 4x4's are braced. Then pull up the wall sections and build it on top of the platform. I read your suggestion about building the roof frame prior to install. I don't plan on assembling the components prior to putting them together on the platform, so not sure if I can build the roof framing to measurements and hope it fits? Maybe I will assemble only the outer frame and center rafter. I will add a post with how it goes/lessons learned in case anyone else doesn't have a fork tractor and/or has access issues. Thanks again!

Brett that is a really nice tutorial and job you did on the deer blind. Taught me a lot and no doubt will save me some mistakes. I believe I am going to use some of your ideas.

Best video I’ve seen in how to make a blind! Thank you for the time you took to make this!!

Great looking blind, going to take a shot at building one in the spring.

Excellent series of videos! You've come up with simple, inexpensive ways to solve some of the "usual" problems when building a blind (door sag, windows, etc.) I currently have most of my walls done, about to hang my door.

Amazing series! THANK YOU! I have been working with a local carpenter and I am blown away how difficult it has been to discuss/debate/conclude on how to build it. I don't have the skills or space to build them at home. (although your video gives me confidence i could do it - your hours estimate might need to be x2 but you made it seem easy). Thank you... will absolutely be sharing this and telling them.. DO THAT! Love your OCD... knowing the carpenter i hired will not follow your hints and my doors will squeak. ha! GREAT JOB! GREAT VIDEO! You should do this for a living!!! Excellent craftmanship is hard to come by these days!

Hey Brett, just finished building 4 of these with a buddy. Thank you thank you thank you. Learned from your 3 year review and made a few minor adjustments.

That's what I call step by step! Very helpful video. Thank you. My dad and I are in Northern Canada and plan on building one of these next week.

A very nicely built blind. I love the way you pay attention to details and you try to be very efficient.

Oh my gosh, this is the best explained video I have see in KZfaq till today! I enjoy very much your detail explanations in how to build it. You must be related to Noah!! Thank you so much. I think this is exactly what we need. Let's see if we can build it as good as yours.

Nice job! Great information and very detailed. Looks like a good plan for my new deer hunting stand. Thank you.

Awesome blind. Thank you for the detailed build. I've had an octagonal blind in mind for some time for both rifle and bow seasons. Your videos gave me the path to build it. Great job!!!

You do a fantastic job of instructing and explaining. Thank you!

Awesome video Brett! We used your plan an built 4 of the enclosed deer stands in my Agricultural Construction class. The plan is a great opportunity for students to learn construction principles. Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted FFA thanks you!!!

Really a great instruction video. The whole hunting community thanks you.

Very well detailed plans. Only thing I'm going to change is I'm going to extend the side frame members(also go to 2x8 framing) to 10' and add a 4' landing. Making it easier to access the door. Otherwise a great stand. I also bought a Krig Jig and on the wall studs installed pocket screws on the bottom. Really helped for stiffening up the walls.

Those screws on the window trim. Kreg jig screws, I buy them by the 50 lb box. Have them in 2 lengths. Most places these are high per screw. That's why buy them in bulk.

One of the best homemade blinds I have seen. Excellent explanation on the construction. If I could offer some advice on filming...slow down your panning up, down and side to side..I got a bit of a head ache after nearly 2 hours.

Thanks man! Can’t wait to build mine

Watched this a couple times now. I like the design thanks for going through the effort to make a video. I'm ganna do a Similar design just maybe not as expensive or elaborate.

This was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing and even detailing the dimensions as you went and the sketches at the end of the video.

Absolutely wonderful video and detail... thank you! Many great ideas shared. Post a pic of the deer you take from this beauty!

Thanks for the great ideas and pictures.

Wow!!! The details in this video are amazing!!!

Great video, great detail and gives me lots of ideas of what I want to do. Thanks for making this!

Outstanding Video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video it's really helpful.

Very nice hunting blind.

I think I will build all the walls the same height and the rip three 2x6 from 2 inches to 5 ½ to get my roof angle.

I think metal roof will making lot of sound when is snow or raining, I perfer roll shingle that didn't make any sound when rain or snow going on.

Great videos on this Brett. I built one last fall and plan to build a few more.

This is a awesome blind. Thank you for sharing

This is awesome! Great detail and instructions!

Great detailed video, only I would do is put a little screen over the vent holes

These are awesome videos, Brett! Thank you for doing this. I just got mine started and this will help greatly. Next problem...where is the perfect place to put it? 😂

Hi and thank you for a great job with this video. Is there any chance you could put a link to the plans that is printable. That would be really helpful. Thx

A really nice design and very thoughtful presentation. Thanks for sharing. I design pretty much everything myself, but I may just use your design on this one.

I have to make one for next season

Awesome job!

I like everything but that door set up!

Dude! Your Awsome! Thanks!!!

Hey Brett! Thanks for all the great content, really enjoy your work. I’m considering putting up a similar stand to this next week, but there’s only a month left before the season and the area I have to hunt is SMALL. They’re coming after the feed I put out and my apple trees 😠 but I’m worried putting up a box stand will spook them. I did have a ground blind on the hill but it’s made of brush and dug in, so it won’t help contain scent at all, and the deer have cut a trail right around the back of the dang thing, so I don’t think I’ll see a one if I use it. Help? 😂

The blind sitting in the background. How did you make the window sun visors? 45:45.

Awesome video! Thanks for posting it. How did you raise the blind into the air? Did you use a tractor to place it on posts, or add posts and tilt the blind up? Did you use elevator brackets? Thanks again. Cheers!

Do you ever use wood glue? Thoughts are between he corner stud pieces and the 2x2 door frame to plywood connection? Just curious? Thank you for all the awesome videos!

Can this be built modular so can be assembled in the field once built??

holy crap, appreciate the details, great job! Where in Wisconsin are you?

Just finished my octagon blind. I followed your plans and couldn’t be happier with the end result. I plan on putting 8 or 10 ft 4x4s under it. What would you suggest for anchors? I’m thinking about those anchors that you can install with a impact drill and the add eyebolt. It will be on Iowa farm ground. Your thoughts? Thanks for great videos and plans.

Just wondering how that untreated side wall plywood will hold up over time. I realize water won't sit on it and the stain will help some, but I'd hate to invest that much, especially time and then see it start to warp or rot in just a few years. How much cost differential was there between treated and untreated? Great detail in your videos, much appreciated!

How did you paint the camo pattern on the second blind at the end of the video?

Sir, I’m trying to cross match that woodland brown. That durastain is $180 a gallon where I live I’m not paying that much. Any idea how to translate that paint color? I need a sample 🤣. Thank you for all your ideas. I’m almost done with mine. Just need the windows and a door. Oh and paint

Do you build and sell blinds for people I really like the way this looks and don’t think I would be able to build one

If the walls are framed out in 2x4 and the door is done in 2x4 would it still work out the same, with your measurements? Thanks

How much weight is here in total would you guess? I saw you put yours in place with a skid steer, but I have to go down a steep hill, so I am not sure this is feasible. Building onsite may be the only option :/

Mucho bueno !!!!

after using it how has the windows worked out. also was the height of the windows ment for a elevated stand or will they work for it being on the ground.

Do you have a link with pictures of the measure? Like illustrations at end of part 2 that I could down load?

Hi Brett I'm a recent subscriber to the channel. Great channel I must say. I'm going to be building a couple of these blinds setting on 293 acres. Do you have the drawings in a pdf you can email??

How come you didn't mitre the sheathing on the exterior?

Do you have a clue how heavy it is?? This is exactly what I want to build. My tower only holds 800 pounds.

Excellent blind idea Do you have a total material list and paper plans for sale ?

Do you make these for sale???

Do you have a link on Amazon for the door handle. I’ve looked and looked and can’t find it.

Did it keep the critters out?

OSB is 7/16”

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome video! Thanks for posting it. How did you raise the blind into the air? Did you use a tractor to place it on posts, or add posts and tilt the blind up? Did you use elevator brackets? Thanks again. Cheers!
