A piece of plywood is 4x8. Buy 8 foot boards, the 4 foot side boards can be cut in half of (2) 8 footers. Less cuts, less waste and can fit me, wife, and worse case 2 kids.

LOL that outhouse as a blind is funny, but genius.... if you can find a beat up one for cheap it would be economical.

Hey Bossman, tell us about the PVC frame, how it's covered, etc.. And do the guy wires/cables, all go to a single anchor beneath the platform above the "porta-let" on the tower? What modifications did you do in the interior? Like X711 said, that's an economical approach! Thanks for the pics.

What about building a wooden frame with 2x4s and 4x4s and then siding and roofing it with these:Cellulose Fiber/Asphalt Roof Panel. They come in 4x6.5 sizes and in different colors. They even have brown. I think the benefits would be durability. It would never rot. The cost is about what you'd pay for a sheet of plywood at $22.

I know this isn't a box stand but it shows what you can do with it.

Treefarmer the PVC blind is wrapped with any camo netting and that size is mainly used for duck hunting but can be modified to any shape or size. With the smit house... ya might want to find one that hasn't been used yet, but make sure that you gut it out to make as much room as possible. also use lots of glued in carpet cause is is hard to keep the noise down the slightest movement will make lots of noise if you don't. But it will never rot, and the cable is to stable it if it goes to blowing... not to blow over.
