Tower/Condo Stand Pictures

[JJBraves]

I've decided to build a few tower stands on the property once this upcoming season is over and am looking around for ideas as to how and what I'm going to build. Id love to see pictures of yall's stands that yall have built just for reference and/or things that you would change and avoid after the fact.

I built this one, and I have taken half of it apart and redone it multiple times. Probably 4 times. Get your windows at the right height. Buying a condo would have been much less time consuming and probably cheaper

I've thought about it but I really enjoy doing stuff myself and building things the way I want it. You are right though.... a lot more cost effective

I probably have 80 hours in mine, $1000 in materials that I bought, and got the metal, and most of the flooring free.

A good rule of thumb is to make your doorway at least 6" wider than your shoulders. Do not consider a trapdoor.
Besides being really noisy, its really awkward getting in and out. If you don't have a front end loader, build it in sections where you can assemble it once the base is up

Mine is not and I wish it was bigger

I seek out used exterior doors with frames from remodels or scratch & dent, etc. on marketplace or equivalent. So much better than trying to build a decent door.

I built this one, and am happy with most of it. The windows could be better but they have worked ok. It's 6x6 and can fit two pretty comfortably, but I usually hunt alone. I used an old warehouse ladder but a wooden platform and stairs should be easy to add on.

Y'all have fancy houses. Mine are kinda low rent. Just getting around to putting windows in some of them

We have a few of these we built put up in the air. The last pics are just of the inside. All have windows and are foam filled

It's amazing that me, being from West Virginia, have never seen a 2-story outhouse Seriously, that looks nice.

That's hilarious. The metal was long enough I figured I'd just box it in and have storage. Still need to add a few sheets of metal but it's working great.

I don't have pictures of ours. We bought a few and built a few. You can dang near buy one for what a nice cost to build. But you can build them cheap if wanted. But we have put the last few on trailers. Highly recommend.

We built 2 4x8s this year mainly for when my son will start hunting with me. Used tinted deer view windows. My buddy is sitting next to my son in the first pic so deer really can't see you in there. They are legit. Will need to build two more for two fields we cut out on other props of ours. This is in South bama.

These are 2 I built. I also have 2 sportsman condos. I definitely recommend the sportsman condos for ease of setup and maintenance free

I'm no carpenter but I built three of these. Two are 4x4 and one is 4x5. Simple 2x4 contruction with OSB/camo sides. Built them and put them up myself.
One one of them I was built in pieces and assembled onsite. The other two were built and just moved and raised onsite.

Lower field House:

Pole Barn Field shooting house:

Back 20 shooting house:

All that work - and I don't even hunt deer anymore.

What do you think is optimal height from floor to shooting rail at bottom of window. A good compromise so kids can shoot too?

I've always wanted to have a shooting house in a wooded setting. Mine have always been on fields. Looks great.
