I am building another 5x5 box stand. This one is 6’3 to the top of the roof inside. the walls are also 5 foot high. I ripped 5 1/4 boards in half and ripped off the rounded edges. I used these as my framing studs and roof joists and door frames.
The windows are 31 inches from the floor to the bottom of the window opening. I built A frame for the window cut outs and put them on hinges. The window openings are 12 inch tall by I think 52 inches wide. It has a 24 inch wide door. I put 5 1/4 board in the window openings for a shooting rest. I sanded them and rounded the corners so no splinters or ruff edges. I will have small window support arms screwed to the windows. This will support the window at a TBD opening once the box is up. I will be Able to unscrew one end of them and screw the windows shut in the off season. The floor is built outta pressure treated 2x6. I used 5 1/4 boards for the decking. I used 7/16 osb on the wall frames.
The legs will be 12 foot 4x4 with 16 foot 2x4 for diagonal bracing. I will use 2x6 for the stairs going up to the box. This will give me a window height of about 15 feet from the ground. I painted the outside with exterior gliden paint + primer.
The entire stand is built outta all pressure treated with the exception of the plywood on the walls and roof. It will have a tin roof once we erect it. Here are the pics of the build progress to the point I am at now
