4×6 Shooting House Plans

This step by step woodworking project is about free 4×6 shooting house plans. I have designed this small but sturdy shooting house so you can have a nice shelter during the hunting season. You can make a lot of adjustments to my design, so it suits your needs. You can even build an elevated stand and then build the house, so you have a better view on the field. See my other DIY projects HERE.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. See all my Premium Plans in the Shop.

How to build a 4×6 deer blind

Floor frame

The first step of the project is to build the floor frame. Cut the components from 2×4 lumber, after taking accurate measurements. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components.

Fitting the floor

Continue the project by attaching the 3/4″ plywood sheet to the floor frame. Align the edges and insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the joists.

Side wall – Frame

Build the side wall frames for the deer box from 2×4 lumber. Cut the components at the right dimensions and then lay them on a level surface. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Frame the window opening, as well. You can adjust the size of the opening to suit your needs. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush.

Front wall – Frame

Frame the front wall for the shooting house from 2×4 lumber, as well. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the studs. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush.

Back wall – Frame

Frame the back wall for the deer blind in the same manner described above.

Assemble the shooting house frame

Fit the wall frames to the floor of the shooting house. Plumb the walls with a spirit level and make sure the edges are flush. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the floor. Moreover, lock the adjacent walls together tightly with 3 1/2″ screws, after drilling pilot holes.
