5×5 Shooting House Plans

This step by step diy project is about 5×5 shooting house plans. I have designed this deer stand as an alternative to my already 4×4 box project I had on the site. This deer shooting house is very sturdy and it features blinds on all sides and a door. The roof has a lean to shape, so it is super easy to build. You can even get the job done with hand tools! Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

How to build a 5×5 deer blind

Building-the-floor-frame

The first step of the the 5×5 shooting house is to build the floor frame. Cut the joists at the right dimensions and then lay them on a level surface. Drill pilot holes through the rim joists and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the perpendicular components. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square.

Floor

Next, you have to attach the 3/4″ plywood floor to the frame. Cut the sheets at the right dimensions and then fit the to the frame, making sure you align the edges flush. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the framing.

Side-wall-frame

Continue the project by assembling the frames for the side walls. Cut the components from 2×2 lumber at the right dimensions. Drill pilot holes through the plates and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the studs. Drill pilot holes through the end studs and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the horizontal supports.

Back-wall-frame

Build the back wall frame for the shooting house from 2×2 lumber, as well. Drill the pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws into lock the components together tightly. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges flush.

Back-wall-frame

Build the front wall for the shed from 2×2 lumber, using the same techniques described above.

Building the frame of the shooting house

Fit the wall frames to the floor of the deer house. Align the edges flush and plumb the with a spirit level. Drill pilot holes through the bottom plates and insert 3 1/2″ screws into the floor. Moreover, you need to lock the adjacent walls together tightly, by drilling holes and inserting 2 1/2″ screws.

Fitting the rafters

Fit the 2×2 rafters to the top of the deer blind. Place the rafters equally spaced and then drill pilot holes. Insert 2 1/2″ screws so you lock the rafters into place tightly.
