Each year we tend to build one more hunting house on the farm and add one more ladder stand. Houses are sometimes elevated, sometimes ground level. This size (one man blind) we can use at ground level or we can roll on side, add legs, and stand up with tractor. Larger (two person blinds) we usually stand up floor and legs, and add prebuilt walls and drop on roof. Two of use can easily roll one on and off the trailer ( use some 2" steel pipe for rollers..old dock legs). If site does not work out or is less than optimal we can just relocate.
Here is picture of unit ready to move from build site to farm
Here is unit delivered on site. We usually instal the roof before moving them, but it was such a nice day we wanted to get out of the garage. Roof is usually PT plywood, but on this one we added some corregated metal we got from a remodeling job for free.
Final unit in place (my buddys wife likes to do the camo job..)
this house overlooks a one acre food plot (clover) in a field that is 300 yards long. It did ok, but we are going to move it to woods on the other side of field and elevate it so you can also look down a ridge in the woods while still seeing the food plot.
Here is picture of elevated two person blind...overlooks some thickets and a hill side. hand rails had yet to be added to the stairs. (helps a lot when they have ice and snow on stairs)
This one another two person blind...(or four grand kids). It sits more near middle of six acre hayfield, and has a one acre food plot in front, another in back...and about 100 yards to right as pictured is a ridge of oaks. Not a place to shoot large bucks, but great for filming them and observing them in early fall. My personal best is eleven deer at one time...great place to take the kids to get them up close experience.
