Yeah, a 2x4 of southern yellow pine, flipped up on edge, can support exactly 300 lbs without bowing, at exactly 7 ft & 3 inches. This doesn't take into account let's for example, 1/2" treated plywood above it that it's now affixed to. So if you have 5 pieces (24" on center) under some 1/2" treated plywood, I guarantee you at MINIMUM that the floor could support 1,500 lbs without bowing. It's almost impossible to figure out the additional strength of affixing the 2x4s to the plywood. This also doesn't take into account the 2x4s around the edge that ultimately will box in the floor framing. Now obviously you have to figure in the floor is also supporting the walls and roof, but I would bet that is not more than 250 lbs max. You still EASILY have a MINIMUM of 1,250 lbs of available support, and I would bet with the 1/2" plywood you are looking at closer to 1,500 lbs. There is absolutely no reason to use more than 2x4s for this and 1/2" treated floor. By the way, many sheds use 1/2" treated floors with 24" on center.

@Steven-gv1ke your not putting the steps on so yes you would have something other than a 2×4 to attach the stringer to , really it is not rocket science its common sense

If you build another stand look at installing a trap door for entry. It is safer and cheaper. Easy to build. Nice video.

@@HTown99 My stands are about 8.5' off the ground . I have one 8X8 and two 8X6 stands. I used 3/4 flooring over my 2x6 floor joist. I frame out a 2x2 opening about 8" off the wall I would be looking at when I am climbing up and 20" off the other. With 2x4's pushed up inside the 2x6 frame to the 3/4" floor to support the trap door. I cut three sides of the trap door floor then install hinges to swing up and into the closest wall. I then make my last cut directly across from the hinges. This helps with a perfect swing. I use two 10' 4x4 treated posts under the stand attached to the outer rim of the stand below the door. One on each side and then simply make a ladder with 2x4 treated up to the door. I install a 2x4 grab handle on the wall above the door abut 3' and as simple as that you are up and in your stand. Its cheaper because you don't have to buy or build a door, build a stair case and hand rail up to a landing. Some people don't have a landing or hand rail so its a steep angle to grab the door knob. Hard to get out too. You can also have a window instead of a door if you want. The stand will no mater what shift. Now your door is in a bind. My trap doors has never bound up. It blends in better because you don't have a stair case. I have three stands like this and all my buddies that did stairs and a standard door wouild rather have a trap door. Give it a try, It won't cost you much to decide. My wife has no problem in the dark getting in or out. Good luck!

IDK what the price was last year, but when I looked up composite metal panels, they were right around $185/ea. on the low end. At that rate, it would be less expensive to buy one of those pre-made blinds.

If you have a shop nearby, see if you can get some at a discount from a job with leftover materials. Oftentimes, they order too much for a job and they can’t reuse it elsewhere so you can get it for cheap! But at the prices you’re talking about, pre-made might be the way to go!

The walls hold up nicely with the sheeting on the exterior tying everything together! Screws would be recommended to attach the walls to the base but enough nails would probably do the trick as well!

@BuckFeverOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
A sheet metal/fabrication shop near you should be able to supply you with the material! Sometimes these places order too much material for a certain job and they are left with extra material that you can get at a discounted price. If you make a few phone calls, you should be able to get a good deal on some material!

In Pennsylvania, everyone started posting property with no trespassing signs, so unless you have a lease or a lot of property, stalking is pretty much out of the question. I started hunting on the ground with my dad a few decades ago. We’d walk and sit. We always found deer. Now, there’s little chance to do that in my area.
