Josh with all different configurations of stands you may need to be more descriptive. What type of material are you looking to use,
I agree, Do you have any materials already? metal, or wood.
Reason I ask is, I built an 8'x8' this year. The base is all steel since I had it laying around, the box is standard 2"x4" built. The stand base I made is 13' to the in-floor door,( I did this since I had the room and wouldn't have the extra water issues).
Building a blind is pretty basic construction depending on the materials you have/buy. Also what level of skill and tools you have available, either way, there is enough knowledge on TBN to build you a 6000 sq ft blind so..
I have, if bought now, around $200 in the steel base, 3"x3" square leg post cemented in the ground, 3'x3' outside base frame with 6" perlin as floor joist on 16" center. I also framed the in-floor door with 3"x3".
$450 approx. for the "box"
2 sheets of #2 3/4" plywood for the decking (floor)(( easy since at 8'x8' it works out with no cutting))
Walls I built, then had help and a tractor getting them up and lag bolted to through the metal frame. all 2"x4" standard construction, 7'6" tall. I used 7/16 OSB and 3 coats of exterior flat Green. The roof I also used the same OSB, but used 2"x4"s for roof joist and used metal hangers. put down new roof felt and used some old barn tin for now that I had from an old chicken coop I took down at my mothers. ( I used metal "drip edge" on the roof as well)
Last I caulked the exterior corners and trimmed with 1"x3"s
took about 2 1/2 days at my speed:laughing:
I can get photos if you'd like.
What ever you build, build around your windows if you have some , or if going new, at least know the size opening you need to trim out. same goes for the door. If your going Plexi-glass to save $$ then see whats available there (width / height).
Deer view windows has some good stuff, I used the "hinge windows" but after getting them i will later change to the sliders.
